Make it yourself small world beach

Over the past few days we have been busy making our own small world beach scene this has been great fun for me as much as Little Boo.

 Last night I made two deck chairs with some lollipop sticks and wooden skewers this was completely trial and error and I was impressed that it actually worked out!

where to put the holes

I have taken these pictures in case you feel inspired to make any they are so cute! I used my crop-a-dile to make the holes in the lollipop sticks then placed the skewers through the holes and used hot glue gun on the outside.  This way the chairs are still able to collapse.

Little Boo started playing as soon as she saw them when she came down in the morning. Some pretend towels have also been made by cutting up pieces of felt.  We then decided that a beach hut was needed.

Lots of glue then add the lollipop sticks 

Little Boo loved the cup cake cases today so they are on the roof and making the flooring inside the hut .

Apparently it needed some glitter

Then it was all finished we just added Cloud dough. 

Making a pin less pin wheel

The other day I was inspired by this video on how to make a pin less pin wheel.  Little Boo bought a pin wheel the last time we were at the seaside so I thought this was quite fitting of the theme of seaside.

We had to decorate the paper Little Boo chose to stamp hers and do a glittery one as well (this is currently still drying though hence it is not yet a pin wheel)

We were very lucky as Little Boos Auntie has just given us all her stamps she loves playing with them.

We then just followed the steps on the video by cutting into the centre leaving one inch in the centre

Folding the alternate corners in to the centre and gluing down then making a hole in the centre

Wind the end of a pipe cleaner then place through hole, then wind onto a pencil

Mommy's and Little Boos completed pin wheels

To do the activity you are best to use thick paper we did one card and one paper. The paper one spins a lot better I also think that stamping the design or colouring is better as I am thinking the glitter one may not work as the paper may be too heavy? I hope that you enjoy this a very fun and simple activity to share together.  I also later thought about the possibility of up-cycling some art work to make these.
