You will require a thick card sheet, a matchstick, a pencil and some glue.2. Make a six sided regular hexagon about 8 cms across. Divide the surface into six equaltriangles by drawing lines across from corner to comer. Write numbers from 1 to 6, one in eachtriangle.3. Push the matchstick halfway through the centre point and apply a bit of glue to secure itfirmly in place. Once the glue dries the dice is completed. Spin it on a flat surface.4.
