Steps

	1.	Print out either of these cube templates on A4 or Letter size cardstock. Print 2 copies of Template 1 to make a pair of 2¼-inch dice or print 1 copy of Template 2 to create a pair of 1½-inch dice.
	2.	Cut out the templates.
	3.	Fold each cube template along the inside lines.
	4.	The die's 6 faces show a different number of dots from 1 to 6. You can draw dots or make other fun shapes like small flowers, stars, hearts, or smiley faces. If you are keen on following a real die's positioning of these dots, follow the positions as shown in the photo. When assembled into a cube, you will notice that opposite faces of the die add up to 7.
	5.	Apply glue on one tab.
	6.	Glue the tab towards the adjacent face. Press the joined edges to glue the two faces well.
	7.	Glue the rest of the faces together along the tabs following Steps 5 and 6 to form a cube. Allow the glue to dry.
	8.	Make a pair of dice to use for games or simply use them to practice counting and basic addition.
