Re-Build the Tumbling Blocks

It's all about "rebuilding" community this summer. It is such an easy & fun game for adults and kids alike, with a little thrill factor. Stack the giant blocks high and rebuild them when they fall over! Give your giant jumbling tower (alternatively use the Block Tower Game on a tabletop) a quick & easy colorful makeover by painting the tips / ends of the block in bright colors. I chose yellow, pink, teal, blue and orange. For a long-lasting look use outdoor exterior paints.

Tip! Get sample sizes from your local hardware store and you'll have plenty to complete the look.
