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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
