How To Make Paper Dice (with Free Printable!)

How to make paper dice with your kids.

Games are an amazing way for kids to learn. Taking turns, counting, strategy. And an important part of games is dice.

Dice alone are great ways to learn. Counting, number recognition, addition and subtraction. All of the number sense skills come out with dice. Don’t stop with numbers. You can put any symbol that you want on dice.

The problem can be finding dice that have what you need on them. Or finding the dice that you have in the jumble of toys in the playroom.

That doesn’t have to be an issue though. You can print up your own dice and make exactly what you need when you need it.

Here is how to make paper dice at home with a free printable pattern.

Supplies To Make Your Own Dice

Steps to make your own dice, play with your dice, instructions, how to make paper dice.

This is a super easy fix if you need dice with specific markings or just don’t want to buy one.

Step one is to print out the pattern.

If you want to work on scissor skills with your child, this is a great chance for them to help out. Do know that the dice will be easiest to make and will roll best if the lines are cut straight.

You want to cut out the entire pattern.

Write in your numbers or symbols on the six big squares. This is a great chance to let your child color and personalize the dice!

Then fold the dice in on itself on the interior lines. Use the flaps to tape or glue your dice together.

It’s that easy! I will say that an adult will probably need to help with the taping. It can be hard for little hands to hold everything in place. But once that is done you are ready for all the math games you can think of!

(And who knows, maybe it will get your kiddos interested in learning more about origami! )

Printable Dice Template (How to Make Paper Dice)

Published: Nov 19, 2022 by Molly · This post may contain affiliate links.

Sharing is caring!

This printable dice template lets you make dice to play your favorite games even if you don't have any real dice on hand. Here we'll show step by step you how to make a paper dice.

Dice template

We have lots of fun printable roll a dice games here on our site, but realized that you may not have a pair of real dice on hand.

So we came up with a quick and easy solution. Printable dice! Our dice template makes it super easy to grab, print and fold your dice in only a few minutes.

Leaving you lots of time to play your favorite games.

These will come in handy for all sorts of fun printable activities.

We even include a blank dice template so you can create your own custom dice if have something creative in mind.

The Printable Paper Dice Templates

We have six different dice templates so that you can find just the right one for your needs.

We have larger printable dice that measure about 2 inches wide when assembled.

printable dice template

The first one is a printer friendly black and white version.

And since my kids love ALL things rainbows, we created a fun bright colorful template as well.

blank dice template

And if you're feeling extra creative, we have a blank dice printable template so that you can fill the spaces with any type of shapes or designs you like or need.

This one is good for printing on colored paper and adding white punch-out holes or stickers to it. Kids will love creating their own custom dice to play with.

The blank ones are also great for creating your own dice game with, or creating fun math games.

small dice templates

And if you need a smaller printable paper dice template we have these ones, that measure to 1.2-inch cube when assembled.

They're just smaller versions of the three larger templates above.

How to Make Paper Dice

First, grab and print out the dice template. You'll find it at the end of this tutorial.

You'll also need either tape or craft glue to hold the cube shape together.

You can choose from one of the three templates that we provide.

The PDF file will come with all 6 dice in one file. So I suggest when printing, select the actual page number of the one you want and just print that one out.

It'll save you paper and ink.

Then cut the template out around the solid lines. Don't cut through the dotted areas.

You'll end up with a shape like this.

paper dice template cut out

The fold the tabs on the dotted lines one a flat surface to make sure you create a nice sharp fold.

Then start folding the shape up to make a cube. Here's a step by step video to assemble the paper dice from Just the Art Teacher.

For more durable paper dice, I recommend using cardstock to print out your templates. This will make for a sturdier cube shape and they will last much longer.

A few general ideas on how to use these dice to get you started:

- You can mix a text die with punctuation like '.' '?' 'not' and an image die. Have students make a sentence, negative statement or question with the word that comes up on the image die.

- Make text dice with phonics digraphs, reading rules, and combinations. Have the students roll the dice and give them 2 minutes to write as many words as they can that contain those phonics rules.

- Make dice with numbers and different operators ( + , - , x ) or just use regular dice plus the operator dice for simple math practice.

- Make text dice with set questions or better yet, just the beginning, 'Have you ever ...?' / 'Do you have ...?' / 'Are you going to ...?' and use these as conversation starters and warm up activities.

- Combine the text dice with the printable board games in examples like those above. So instead of using two dice, you would use the content from the dice and content from the board position to practice your target language.

Here's a list of communication games you can play using dice . These can be used for conversational activities or they can be used with the Crisscross Bingo game from MES-English.

If you want to make a paper cube, start by drawing a long rectangle on a piece of paper. Divide the rectangle into 4 2-inch squares, then draw another 2 squares on the right and left of the second square from the top.Then, add flaps to the right side of the 3 top squares, the bottom side of the bottom square, the top and bottom of the square on the left side, and the left side of the top square. After you've added the flaps, use scissors or a hobby knife to cut around your squares. Finally, fold the sides inwards to form your cube and apply glue or tape the sides to hold them in place.
