- Let's make some jumbo game pieces from some of our favorite board games. No fancy tools or materials needed! Just some paper, cardboard, hot glue, a knife, a ruler, and a printer.
The free PDF templates are here: bit.ly/bigmeeple
Please note, this craft is not intended for unsupervised children. It involves hot glue and sharp knives.
Board game pieces featured in this segment are from these games:
Cat and Raccoon are from "Root": boardgamegeek....
The red "Meeple" is originally from "Carcassonne": boardgamegeek....
but also used in many other games.
The stacking animals are from "Animal Upon Animal": www.habausa.co...

Unnecessary but fun! Let me know if you made your own! As an additional build note, if you soften the edges with some sandpaper and you don't like the look of the exposed cardboard there (I think it's a nice "distressed" look), a little carefully applied marker or paint of a similar color can really hide that edge.
Could you make a template of the mouse?
@@NickTeri Hey Nick, good idea, I thought it would be a little trickier to make because of the tight corner between the ears, but it is a pretty cute design, so I think it would be worth it. I've traced it for you and added it to the pdf. Go to the link here: bit.ly/bigmeeple
and then find the pdf labeled "Cat + Vagabond + Mouse". I haven't built one yet so let me know if it works!
I made the Root set, and plan to make some animal upon animals today!
@@0riananne0 That's great! I'd love to see them! I really should start an Instagram account for Woodfish Toys so people can share what they made.
I sent a photo to Tom at the Dice Tower cos I wasn't sure how to contact you
Quality channel right here
Thanks very much!
The whole series is sooooo gooood! Thanks for making it
You're so welcome! Glad you are enjoying it! Stay tuned for more episodes...
Man I loved this "episode" on the Dice Tower. Your videos - and your technique - it excellent. Kudos, and thanks to you, I've been stockpiling some Amazon boxes so I can make me a "Marquis De Cat" meeple for our game room! Keep on, keeping on!
Ya our basement is definitely filling up with Amazon boxes and cereal boxes I'm saving for these segments! 😬 Thanks very much for the kind words! Sometimes it's hard to find time for these projects so I really appreciate the encouragement! Hopefully I'll see more of your segments on the Dice Tower soon as well!
You will!! I know all about the challenges of finding time - especially with kids! I've been filming multiple segments so that I can "reveal" them all on a Dice Tower segment that will be releasing VERY soon, but it's been hard to find time to film 6-7 different segments, especially without a dedicated studio space in the house. So it's a lot of setup and tear down every time! Anyways, I'm going to grab some orange construction paper and see how my wife's new Cricket cutter does with the Cat Warrior template!
Hey@@WoodfishToys please go visit facebook.com/tabletoptoolbox - there's something there you'll want to see!! 😁
This is amazing your stuff is so polished and neat. Thank you
i saw ur video on board game breakfast and i insta subscribed the content is so awesome !! quality not quantity
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! It takes me quite a while to develop each episode, but I'll keep them coming if people are enjoying them!
Woodfish Toys please keep them coming. These are fantastic!
@@andrewbeutel8044 Thanks Andrew, I'll do my best!
Sweet!
I made the set of 3 Root figures with the idea to give it as a birthday present and then I liked it so much that I made a second set for myself (I was on a week holiday during lock-down).
My friend who got it, liked it so much that he posted a picture on BGG and now they are asking him for the link of this video.
Thank a lot and keep up the good work. I already made a Tokio Dice and I have all I need to start the component trays.
I would gladly send you a picture but I can't find your email address.

Oh wow, that's so great to hear! And yes, I love to see pictures posted on BGG or you can contact me directly by going to my main CZcams channel page and clicking on About and then click on "For Business Inquiries." Sorry I haven't been able to keep up my original pace of videos lately but I have some new designs I'm working on. Lots of silly ones and some useful ones too :)
What kind of paper do you suggest? Construction paper, colored cardstock, colored printer paper, other?
Super cool, thanks
Awesome! I love your submissions to Board Game Breakfast :)
Any chance the patterns for these jumbo animals are available somewhere?
So glad you like them Coralou! You can get the pdf templates in this Google Drive folder: bit.ly/bigmeeple Let me know if you have any trouble downloading them.
Awesome!! Making mines today!!
Excellent! Enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions.
@@WoodfishToys do you have any instagram account ? so I can tag you and show how it ends haha
Now I do, thanks for the reminder! 😄 Please share and tag @woodfishtoys with your creations!
@@WoodfishToys Thanks!! going to keep making and also taging you, greetings from Mexico!
You are so smart man! How do you think of this stuff? Reminds me of making Labo on Nintendo switch.
That's very kind of you to say. The ideas usually just come from playing a game and thinking, "Wouldn't it be cool if this was _______", where the blank is usually "bigger!" or "3D!" :) But then the challenging part is figuring out how to make it without using fancy tools or materials.
@@WoodfishToys I love all the videos!
Hermoso! Felicitaciones!
Amo tus videos 😍 Gracias!!!
Thanks, glad you like them!
Any chance of you making an animal upon animal giant die?
Hehe I like the way you think! I did make one (it's the orange one hiding on the shelf in the background of the first shot). It's slightly larger than the dice from my King of Tokyo giant dice video, so to help it roll better and make it easier for little kids to grasp, it has open corners. Do you think it would be worth making it into a template? Maybe people would be more likely to make just the jumbo dice to use with the normal sized pieces, which is a fun way to play.
@@WoodfishToys I think it would be cool, but on the other hand I don't want to trick you into doing more work, as your segments already seem quite involved for you (they are amazing though!)
@@0riananne0 I appreciate you understanding the work involved, but I will still add it to my list, I think it would be cool for people to have that experience. If this comment thread gets some more thumbs or replies I will make sure to get to it sooner. I will reply here with an updated link when it's ready!
Just following up here in case anyone is looking for the giant Animal Upon Animal die... it's now available here!: czcams.com/video/LBOfo-O-0xw/video.html
