How to make your dominoes:

Repeat the above step with the remaining thirty nine dominoes. You should the numbers one through ten four times each on the top and four times each on the bottom. Make sure none of your dominoes are the same. (see photos)

How to make your domino storage jar:

Using the ruler and pencil, measure a strip that is 1 and � inches long on the other piece of colored cardstock. Cut out with scissors. Wrap around the clean baby food jar and cut of the remaining excess, allowing a little bit of the paper to overhang.
Decorate the strip with star stickers and a small scrap piece of cardstock that says "Dazzling Star Dominoes." You may also decorate the top of the jar with stickers and markers. (see photos)
Once complete, wrap the strip around the jar and secure with scotch tape. (see photos)
Store your dominos in the jar when not in use. (see photos)
You are now ready to play with your dominos. Dominos is a simple game with many different variations. One way to play is to have each player select for dominos. The first person places down one of their dominos and the next player tries to match one of the numbers with one of their own dominos. If a player cannot go, he or she must select a domino from the extra dominoes. Play continues until all dominos have been used or there are no more possibilities for placement.
