We're huge tic-tac-toe lovers in my family, we're also huge lovers of convenience. So, when I started making this stool for my boyfriend's daughter, I knew I wanted to combine the convenience of a stool with the fun of a tic-tac-toe board. This project was part of a Monthly Home Depot challenge that I participate in with a group of other bloggers. Each month, one of us picks an item from Home Depot and we all have to make a project with that item. It's so fun! The month that I made this project, our object was wooden dowels. We have endless amounts of fun with this tic-tac-toe board, and Aurora loves to be able to reach the top of her closet now!
