Take advantage of a trip to the beach to collect shells for this pretty shell photo frame - it makes a sweet gift which the kids can make themselves, too.
You will need:
An inexpensive photo frame
Tester pot of emulsion paint or poster or acrylic paint.
Small shells
Strong glue (or hot glue gun)
Instructions:
Paint your frame and leave to dry.
Arrange your shells on the frame. When happy with their positioning, older children can glue them into position themselves using strong glue or a hot glue gun. Younger children may need to ask for adult help.
