What to do when your beach is swallowed by seaweed! Adventure-time for the under-nines
What to do when the beach is swallowed by seaweed?
That is the question on my mind today as I checked the conditions for our planned day at the beach tomorrow…
Our beach, the lovely Cottesloe has been swallowed by seaweed! No, not an April Fools Day joke, and definitely a BIG dampener on the weekend. Have a look here….
So what to do tomorrow?
After a lot of pondering/wondering/scheming and consultation with the stakeholders (that would be the tribe) this is our plan.
We are going to have a We Love Art + Animals day, ending with what I am sure will be a much-lauded exhibition in the lush surrounds of the back deck.
I am thinking it will go something like this…
We will be creating our own animals and habitat (can you tell I am science geek?). Inspired by the very popular holiday camp excursion to the zoo, the tribe can cut loose with all the boxes/containers/paint and glue we can get our hands can create a little world for their creations to roam free.
In the afternoon, we will wind down by making jellyfish, butterflies and garlands to hang in our bedrooms.
I collected and collated a bunch of ideas here (http://pinterest.com/thisgrandlife/crafty-creations/ ) and here (http://pinterest.com/thisgrandlife/fun-ideas-for-kids/) for inspiration. Feel free to share or join us.
Whew, I am getting exhausted (though absolutely excited) just reading that.
I promise to post pictures!
Enjoy xx
What are you up to on the weekend?
