Punch-out letter dice. You punch the faces out and hook`em together. Easy, collapsable, now at the Daiso.
I`m not sure how consistent stock is at various Daisos, but now is a time to look if you`ve been hoping for letter dice for alphabet games. My store had both caps and lowercase, 100y for either set.

can you give me a better description please
are they cardboard sheets that fold up to make dice(s)? or already solid dice(s)
and how big? I couldn't find anything like that at 2 Daisos
Thanks

Card stock sheets about A3 size, you punch out little square-ish faces and hook them together. Should be with the children`s toys-puzzles-etc, there were also hiragana/katakana and possibly math-practice ones.
The sheets are in a plastic "wrapper" (the kind that opens from the bottom with an adhesive flap) that hangs on a hook display.
If I remember, I`ll take a picture of my dice.

I called them dice, yeah. You hook them together to make dice - you can do six-siders or 26-siders, which is nice - kind of a pain to put together a 26-sided die, tho.
Glad you found them!

Oh, I see, you can actually make a dice?
cool
(when you said "hook together" I assumed you made a mistake with the word "dice")

The singular of dice is die. I meant that you use the segments and "hook" them together with the little paper hooks on each of the faces...dice aren`t just six-sided, though most board games just use six-sided ones. D2-D20s (2 sided Dice - 20 sided Dice) are generally pretty easy to get in stores...D2s being coins. ; )
Sometimes I use D10s instead of D6s for games if I want the game to go faster.

Yes, I know "die" is the correct word, but most people still say "dice" ... so .... and yes, I know not all dice are 6 sided, but I think most people assume its 6 unless there is more info? anyway, Thanks for that idea, appreciated
