One of our favorite craft activities is designing and building with Perler beads. Darren’s oldest son is a natural and quite clever at coming up with unique creations.
Here’s one of his more complex and amazing creations is this chess set including the board itself and both sets of pieces.
He carefully created each piece to resemble actual chess pieces with his own touches.
And, of course, added a stand on the bottom so we could play a real chess game!
