Materials:
6 Foot wooden fence picket
Sand paper
Paint
Wood stain
Start with a 6-foot piece of wood. I used a 6 foot fence picket. Sand the wood until you reach a desirable texture. I had my five year old help me and she had a blast.
Stain the wood with wood stain of your choice and then let it dry according to the instructions on the can.
Measure and mark at each foot, 1.25’, 1.5’, 1.75’, 2’ and then so on.
For the numbers, print the tracer number sheet and place the number on each foot mark on the board. Using a pen firmly press and trace the number. You should be able to see a faint impression into the wood then paint over.
Enjoy and customize to each child’s personality or their room decor.
