I'm looking for a large d6 with numbered sides (not pip dots) to use as a game turn counter.

(No -- I don't want other ideas, please.)

Large so it isn't confused with other dice on the table used for rolling.

I can find jumbo dice with pips but none with numbers. The largest I can find is 25mm/1in. These would work but I'm still looking.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks.

Make your own from a cube? Print the numbers on label paper, trim and stick.

Do you have any education/teacher supply schools near you?

How large is large?

The Dollar Tree has large foam cubes, but I don't remember if they are numbers or pips. The bigger stores have bigger selections of this type of thing.

Fuzzy dice.

@79thPA -- those would work great. I'll look for a teacher store nearby.

Can anyone identify the big die in the left in the photo?

Dollar Tree sometimes has them – sold as a pair of hard-foam dice, for $1.25 USD now, and NOT $1.00 USD.

They are quite large, e.g. about 3" across or so, IIRC. I never measured them, but that's the impression I recall being left with.

Not sure when they will be updating their company name to reflect truth in advertising.

Yes, I saw some in Dollar Tree today, too. About 3", and -blank-, so you can draw whatever you want on them with a dry erase marker (or something more permanent.;-) FYI, they weren't in the craft section or the stationary section, so you'll have to look a little… ;-)
