Hi,
I am in the process of building a huge outdoor play area (mostly for the benifit of my own little boy, but will come in handy with my mindees also). I am having a seaside / beach theme.
So far I am going to have a huge pirate ship in the middle with blue bark chippings for the sea, a large sandpit for the beach, a beach hut style house, and I would like a sensory garden with different pots for colours, smells, textures etc.
I origenally thought of tractor tyres for pots for the sensory garden, but these are not very beach themed, then though of drift wood (but this is hard to source where I am, and expensive). My latest though was a hole in the ground with large stones surrounding it with shells stuck all over them ( as in a rock pool type area).
Has anyone got any other ideas / suggestions for the sensory garden, additions to the playarea or any other changes etc. Ideally I would like to add a bit more but am running out of ideas.
Help me please!!!!
Thanks, Lucy
