This craft kit is a bit of fun for summer. Incorporating various textures and items for your little ones to create their own beach scene. This kit contains some small objects and for smaller kids (aged 18months-3 years) this is aimed as a collaborative project between parent/carer and child. This is a fun kit that should bring the beach to your home!
Leaf Paint Brush
This is a really fun activity that can be done with kids of all ages. Encourage your little one to pick some leaves and foliage from a walk or your garden and tie the bunch with string. Provide some paint (I tend to limit the colour palette to avoid the inevitable brown sludge) and let your little one paint away! I did this with my 19 month old and he loved it. He picked up the leaves and enjoyed playing around with the painty leaves. It did get a bit messy so I recommend laying down craft paper and to wear an apron or dress them from messy play. Enjoy!

Paper Mache Rocket
Make a paper mache rocket with things you have lying around the house.
This rocket was made using an empty cardboard hot chocolate tub. For the point, roll a piece of card into a cone, trim the excess, and stick to the main body of the rocket.
For the paper mache you’ll need plain flour, warm water, and strips of scrap paper or newspaper - there are lots of recipes for the mixture online.
Cover your rocket with the paper strips by dipping them well in the paper mache mixture. Once totally covered, leave it to dry. Then it’s time to paint and decorate - we chose some tin foil covered toilet roll holders for boosters!
