I meant to post this long time back, but due to lack of pictures, could not. We did a DIY of stamps using coloured chart/A4 size paper/Card stock from phoenix days. The Kellogs corn flakes boxes were used for giving some firmness to the stamps. Coloured paper was stuck on both the sides as right below.
For the skittles, we took the ludo pieces for the ten lakh, one lakh, ten thousand. For the thousands, hundreds, etc, I just rolled paper so that it could stand like a skittle. We just need 9 pieces for each place. Also, I made sure that the decimal chart had the same colours. The decimal board and decimal checkerboard have also been DIYs and will be in an upcoming post.
Here is the problem being worked out 425/25. I thought it would be difficult for him to grasp that if we give 10 to the group of 10, we need to give 1 to the unit. But, he understood it quite easily - that was a big bonus for me.
Phew...that has indeed saved me few thousand bucks that I used in buying the solid material that we are just better off buying.
