When I was a child I loved to play paper games. Every Sunday I would play naughts and crosses with my friends along with other games. When I moved to New Zealand, the game became known as Tic Tac Toe.
I taught this to Sylvia and to this day we enjoy playing the game. We also love to play similar games like connect four and Pictionary. Paper games can be fun but have you tried playing a game with your food.
Today on the Inspiration Edit we have some valentines themed treats which you can actually play naughts and crosses or tic tac toe on.
What fun! I hope you like them.
