![]() One issue with latex is that it dries in a day, but doesn’t cure for a few weeks. ![]() I used latex paint (ultra pure white, the real teal, pimento, paradise sky and cherries jubile). Paint or stain the jumbo jenga blocks if desired. I used a belt sander for this part to make it faster, a regular hand sander will work too. (Sometimes those kids toys can be useful :-) ). I used a miter saw and set up a stop block on the left side so I didn’t have to measure every piece.Ĭut 54 jumbo jenga pieces. 1 – 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ from a 4×4 postĬut the 2×3 boards into 7 1/2″ long pieces, you should be able to get 12 – 7 1/2″ pieces from each 2×3 board.54 – 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ jenga block pieces cut from the 2×3 boards.2 – drawer handles – optional for carrying crate.wood glue – optional for carrying crate.26 – 1 1/4″ wood screws – optional for carrying crate.scrap piece of 4″ x 4″ post – optional dice (actually measure 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″).1 – 1″ x 8″ x 10′ board – optional carrying crate (actually measure 3/4″ x 7 1/4″ x 10′).How to Make a DIY Jumbo Jenga Yard Game Materials I also made a carrying crate that doubles as the Jumbo Jenga stand, it has enough room for the 54 jumbo jenga pieces and dice. A ‘2×3’ board that you buy is actually 1.5 inches thick, 2.5 inches wide and we can cut them 7.5 inches long…perfect! ![]() The traditional Jenga pieces are 1.5 cm thick, 2.5 cm wide and 7.5 cm long, making the jumbo jenga pieces couldn’t be simpler using 2×3 boards. You can totally play the traditional way too. They will roll and whatever color it lands on, they have to move a block of that color. Each side of the dice (die) is a different color and there is a corresponding set of blocks in each color. The roll ‘n go version puts a fun twist on the game, and I kept it simple for my young kids. ![]() I thought it would be fun to make a giant sized version for the yard with a ‘throw ‘n go’ option (I’m calling it Roll ‘n Go). Hi, I’m Amy and I love to build things and share plans at Hertoolbelt! My kids love to play the traditional Jenga. ![]()
