Dominoes
Dominoes are another wonderful and inexpensive learning tool!
Dominoes have been around since the 18th century and not only are they used to play a great strategy game, they can be used to build structures and toppling runs. Some of those domino runs can be very interesting to watch!
Here are three sites that have information about dominoes if you would like to learn more about them or how to make your own set of toppling dominoes… check them out.
Maze Guys: Dominoes – This site has a lot of information about dominoes, including how to make your own set, records, tip and tricks, and more.
Domino-Play – This site offers tips for set up, types of dominoes, history and more.
