Summer Play Inspiration - Play with Shells

Again this week we had another  Share & Play on our Facebook page Wednesday fun sharing day and the theme was summer fun playing with shells - so, if you have some laying around your home or you're planning to go to the vacation this year somewhere near beach, hope these will come handy! As usual, many wonderful ideas were shared and today, we'll share these ideas with all of you here so you can take a look and recreate some of these ideas at home with your own toddlers:

  2. these are all nice ideas not just for toddlers. I like the mobiles and the land art the best.
    We didn't have a beach close enough when my boys were younger so we purchased a basket of shells for about $3 - they just sorted the shells of their own accord and glued them together into little 'people'.
