How to Make a Hopscotch With Interlocking Foam

Interlocking foam tiles soften and cushion hard floors. Such tiles cover concrete floors in industrial settings to protect workers. Homeowners use interlocking foam pads to cover basement floors. Nurseries and preschools use interlocking foam mats to cover play areas for toddlers and small children. A foam tile set for preschoolers comes with numbers and letters on the squares. Many come with a large "home" tile that's rounded at the top for building an interlocking foam hopscotch game.
