SEASHELL SURPRISE
On you and your child's next visit to the ocean, take those beautiful seashells home to make a gorgous keepsake out of them. Or if you don't live by an ocean, take a trip to the gift store to buy seashells. They're sold in packs and come in a wide variety of shapes and colors.
Have your child pick out a few of her/his favorite and set down some tempera paint in front of them and let them paint the inside of the seashell. After it has dried, take some dried flowers, tiny pinecones, pine needles or wildflowers and have them glue these beautiful things inside their shells.
What wonderful homemade gifts these will make for the relatives and for mom's bathroom and kitchen!!
