Beach Fun - 6 x Mini Windmills & 4 x Sand Castle flags

Product Information

Despite the tax on plastic bags I admit I often forget to bring our own and end up buying one. Unfortunately we have a lot of plastic bags at home. We had a large Paw Patrol plastic bag which I thought would be fun to upcycle into something for my 4 year old. She’s a huge Paw Patrol fan so we made recycled plastic bag sandcastle flags. We are really, really reluctant to share a photo of some finished flags. This is simply because we prefer to encourage creativity and as soon as an idea is seen it seems to suppress any creative ideas. How hard is it to get what you see out of your mind and start afresh? But here are just a few.

And, isn't waiting for a summer holiday is a difficult thing for children to do!Here we are preparing with a physical activity where their thoughts are, and can still be, focused on what they want to think about - their summer holiday or trip to the beach. When children use their hands doing a craft activity, it keeps them busy, making it easier to control any excitement and keeps them calmer too. Thank you for reading this instructable, and if you get to the seaside, happy sandcastle-building! :D Exclusive offers, Product news, The Stripes Company events and how to make our striped textiles bring joy and life to Your surroundings!

Here is an easy craftyactivity that I do with the kids each summer. I am not at all a crafting guru and this is super simple and hardly costs a penny, so any regular mum like me can have a go! If we are honest I am a little late getting this post up on my blog but seeing as we are having an Indian summer right now, I'll go for it.

We made a fun sandcastle craft using this template and a squeegee, it’s a great alternative if you fancy a change from using a paintbrush!

I'm Jenny, London mum of a teen and a tween. Bookworm, craft and family lifestyle blogger, occasional baker of gingerbread. Making sandcastles was, and still is, a favourite activity on seaside holidays.
