DIY Sentence and Story Cubes

If you're like me, you don't have a lot of money to spend on the expensive "story starter" kits offered through the various teaching supply websites. Neither does my school have the money to buy them. In addition, some of the cubes will get lost before the year's end.

As you've probably noticed, I do a lot of DIY (Do It Yourself), that work just as well. I thought I'd share with you what I do. Over the years I have accumulated a lot of stamps. Using plain wooden 1-inch blocks (available cheaply at hobby shops or dollar stores), I made my own story/sentence cubes.
