Safe mirror & large outdoor black board.

Hey all I am after a child safe plastic mirror to put in the dressing up/role play area.

I got in touch with someone on eBay.... I need aprox 3 ft by 2 and a half ft & he quoted me £40 which seems pricey.

Anyone know where I can get one??

I also want a blackboard to attach to my house outdoors for a chalk mark making area... Having no luck ATM

If any of you can advise me would be really appreciated :)

Thanks in advance :) xxx

Hi Amy

This company have loads of mirrors at reasonable prices

or you could try getting some mirror on a role which is sticky-backed. I got mine from Lidl a while ago.

For the blackboard get some marine ply, paint with some blackboard paint and hang on wall outside

Hey thanks for your help and advise!
I've seen that mirror on a role and didn't think it would look too good... Does it look ok then?? I might give it ago after all.

Again with the blackboard paint didn't know if I would get that to work but hey ho if you guys have tried and tested and looks and works great I shall do the same!!

As always ur all fab!!
Thank you xx
