Halloween tic tac toe is a fantastic craft for kids that doesn’t involve gooey pumpkin guts (though we actually love those too).

How to make a Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game

This adorable Halloween tic tac toe board with game pieces was made entirely of painted rocks.

1. Choose your 10 game piece rocks along with your flat rock that will fit the game board.

2. Paint 5 small rocks white and 5 small rocks orange. After completely dry, repeat for a thick coat.

3. While waiting for the small rocks to dry, paint your game board black. Allow this to dry completely and add a second layer for a thick coat.

4. Paint funny faces on your white ghosts and orange pumpkins using tooth pics.

5. Paint the tic tac toe board onto your medium sized flat rock using a paint brush. You can first outline your board using a pencil.

6. Once the board and game pieces are dry, seal with mod podge to preserve. Even if these painted rocks are not going to be outdoor, they will need to be sealed. Excessive handling will begin to smudge or remove the paint if sealant is not applied.

7. Play Halloween tic tac toe over and over again and enjoy for many seasons to come!
