is rapidly undergoing a rethink. Polyfilla taking ages to harden being thought 1 – so prob plaster of paris instead. It looks nice tinted, so will bring some paint for colouring. Making a mould out of playdough [whether home made or not] was not something SB skilled at. took me ages to get her to understand, she pressed things in half heartedly, and then wailed she wanted to stick shells in the top – so prob not doing that. [i want something relaltively simple as a number of the crafts are definitely with a fair bit of adult help/supervision.]
IMG 5113So, at present polyfilla is in margarine tubs [have piccies will flickr] Sb found it easy to mix the water and paint in, and then stick shells in without me doing anythng at all. She enjoyed it. As I said, polytfilla taking a while to dry out much!
So I think this is what I’m going to do – bring plaster of paris and apint and stirring things. Suggest people bring a margarine tub or 2, and collect shells/stones from the beach and bring them. It might be as cheap as 50p a tub.
if enough fo you think your children would prefer making moulds then either I can bring playdough and charge a bit more [or alike] or you can bring it.
thoughts please?
thoughts? At the moment can’t even think how I’m going to get there tbh – suspect we will be the margarine tub and stuff from the beach. Would think Small will be able to do that too which is good.
could stay here friday id that makes things easier?
And yes, the plan was that it should be relatively easy – so SB does on her own and I help BB!
For no particulare reason….

Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft”
Doesn’t even scan, so why did I start humming it when I read your title.
What am I doing admitting that I have even heard of the Carpenters?
Well I’m totally craft-ability-allergic and Charlie will love anything so margarine tub and shells from beach sounds fab.
I’m working Friday. And trying to figure out how to fit everything into a fiesta. It isn’t going to happen is it?
Marg tub and beach sounds good to us – we have a membership card for our local craft bank and they often have marg tub type containers so I’ll go and have a look this week, hopefully tomorrow, and see if I can pick up a load to bring along.
no jax. roof rack?
bungee children to roof?
Helen, Have picked up about 30 tubs from craft bank – they are actually Morrisons 1 litre ice cream tubs, but are rectangular just like marg tubs – have lids too. I also picked up some round cardboard lids, about 10 cm diam, didn’t know if these would be any use? Let me know what you think.

thankyou tracey, both potentially would be great
