Making a geoboard

I saw on Pinterest that someone had made a Geoboard so thought I would try this out.  The one in question that I saw was made with buttons.  This looked great after researching on the Internet geoboards I realised that there are a lot of different homemade ones out there mainly using peg board and nuts and screws.  I came  to realise that peg board is hard to come by and can be quite costly so decided to think of a cheaper alternative so that I could see if Little Boo liked the Geoboard first.  I realised that some of my bottle tops would come in useful for this project.  Here is how it has turned out


To make this all I have used is nine bottle tops and double thickness of mount board.  I used hot glue to stick down the tops and this has worked effectively.  I am really pleased that I was able to find a cheap and safe alternative to the other boards I have seen, Now just watch this space to see how Little Boo gets on with her new creation.

  2. Hi Amy,

    I absolutely love this idea! What a fantastic use for bottle tops. I have started collecting bottle top ideas on Pinterest, so I am pinning this one! I think my little guy would love this too :)

    Take care,
