OK, these aren't going to be used outside. THe cardboard 'mids don't LOOK to be too heavy, so I'm just thinking out the box here... WHy not just white bedsheets? Should be easily draggable (with the assistance of handles?) and if you number the squares 1-9, then prior to a coaster move, you can easily record the positions of the 'mids before moving, in case anything gets out of place. Such "coasters" may not look quite as coaster-ish, but they would do the essential job, and very easy to transport. As for the squares, triangles and the dot, you could either paint them on, or, for a better look, time allowing, get additional appropriately coloured pieces of cloth to sew on (using black thread to provide the border).

Maybe look into giant industrial poster-type material? You know, the type that beer companies hang at ballparks that are immune to Mother Nature. That way you can fold, roll, etc. and they're easy to drag around... _pat On 1/9/07, Carol Townsend <carol.townsend@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 1/9/07, Jay Forbes <jay8828@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > You could also use foamcore like the stuff that Craig > > used to make the Giant Rambots shields.
