Rock Pool Invitation to Play

Who doesn't love a rock pool?!

Yesterday, we made salt dough creatures and last night I painted them using acrylics so today I put them to goos use and made a rock pool invitation to play for Zach for this weeks #yesbebemission ! 


I used Josh's Ocamora Techniques (I bought them for his Birthday as a present from Zach so they could do them together) buy them here! and made a circle out on the around a bunched up blue sensory silk! I then placed the salt dough creatures and stones in the middle and placed around! 

Zach loved it and was straight in there, picking up all the animals, exploring the rocks and telling me what they were! He was particularly fond of the fish and starfish as he loves looking at fish (we have a fish tank and its his favourite thing to do) and he loves shape of a star! It didn't take him long to work out there was two star fish's and 2 fish so he liked pairing them up! 
Zach also enjoyed stacking the salt dough creations (this is one of Zachs favourite activities) and then once i started him off, he moved onto the techniques and stacking them, they're slightly harder stack than his usual bricks but he loved it and I will definitely keep encouraging him to stack them because he will love them once he works out how to stack them properly! In fact, Josh and I might have a go tonight whilst Zach is in bed HAHA! 



















Thank you for reading and I hope you find it interesting and you'll try it with your children

So I tried the paint recipe and it worked beautifully, my OH's cousin helped as she is with me one day a week through out the summer holidays!  We poured the rice into a plastic tub, added some paint and shook until it was all covered and did the same with every colour until they were all done and we put them in the sun on the tuff tray to dry out, turning occasionally to make sure it was all dry! Obviously if you don't have time for this, some places have it readily made  Tiny Land Rainbow Rice (7)   Tiny Land Rainbow Rice (5) I paired it with all the rainbows, including, our grant palos, Lanka Kade animals, Rainbow Ned, Walnut Ned and our Grimms 6 piece rainbow! I also used a couple of our tuff tray bits, like a small bucket and ...
