The Free Standing Tic-Tac-Toe Activity Panel allows kids to play a super-sized version of the classic game. The panel features nine panels which can be turned to display an ‘X’, an ‘O’ or a blank space. Kids can take turns flipping cylinders to their chosen marker until one of them gets three in a row. If they want to, they can also come up with their own new rules or variations. Since the game requires two players, it encourages children to build friendships and social skills while learning to play together. The panel is only 9 inches deep and does not require a designated safe usage zone, so it can easily be placed anywhere. The game can be played from either side of the panel. The Tic-Tac-Toe Activity Panel can be ordered in a bright red, blue, and yellow primary color scheme, or a green, tan and brown neutral color scheme that is available for quick shipping. A custom color palette can also be selected but shipping times will increase to 10 - 14 weeks. This makes it easy for this panel to match your other playground equipment or natural surroundings.
