Free, Beautiful, Biodegradable Toys!

As part of my quest to incorporate more DIY, reused or found toys into my children’s lives, we’ve made it a point to show up at the beach without pails, shovels, etc and then see what we can find. My kids often find their own treasures, but sometimes (especially early on) I have found it’s helpful to introduce an idea to them.  Above is a dried coconut filled with  shells. I find it beautiful, but will the kids go for it?

YES!!!!!

And then delightfully, cleanup is a “walk away!”
