empty sweet tins
When my children were younger they got so much entertainment from the upturned old biscuit/sweet tin and a wooden spoon !!! Would bang away making their " music" for hours on end....( Hint - make sure you have earplugs first) Great fun !! You could also fill them with soil and make miniture gardens like a friend of mine did. little pebbles for the pathway and little miniture mirrors just showing out of the soil for a water feature. Then little animals, small branches of trees etc....to make the rest of the garden. Kids in playschool especially would love doing this. Its messy but still artistic !! Maybe you could have a word with the local kindergarden or creche and suggest this to them for the spring !!
