How to Set Up the Roll a Christmas Sentence

I provided two ways to make these sentences – using printable dice or using the photo window blocks.  I prefer the blocks, but the paper dice are fun too.

Either way, just print them on regular paper!  No need for cardstock for these (although the dice will last a lot longer with cardstock).

I think the photo blocks are more fun to just throw around.  They’re quite durable but still soft.

The colors on the printable dice are easier to see though and feel more “Christmas-y”.  It’s a hard choice.  We had both and they were both fine.
