How to Make Board Game Tokens

When you want to make game tokens for a board game, use the ingredients in your kitchen pantry. Simply make a dough, which hardens like stone after being baked in the oven. When using this material to create game tokens, you have the freedom to fashion whatever shape best fits the theme of your game.

Things You'll Need

½ cup table salt
1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup water
Bowl
Mixing spoon
Cookie sheet
Oven
Acrylic paint
Small paint brush

Instructions

- 1
  Combine the salt, water and flour in a bowl. Mix well.

  Place the mixture on a floured surface and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, adding a little flour to the dough if it is too sticky.
- 3
  Break into small pieces and form game pieces into the shapes you desire. Another option is to roll into a ¼-inch sheet and use cookie cutters to make shapes.
- 4
  Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- 5
  Place shapes on a cookie sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for about 2 hours.
