Seascape...

I made these oysters last night. I thought the pearls would be a fun surprise for Lil to find.

Of course after they were made I couldn't resist setting up a playscape for her to find. Sometimes I do this so that she has some "play inspiration."

It definitely worked! She set to work straight away.

She found some spare gnome hats and used them on her gnomes for mermaid tails. I love watching her come up with ideas. She must have played there for at least an hour. Such fun! We've also started to simplify our toys a bit more. getting rid of things with only one purpose and saving the more basic ones. I have seen a difference in the way the children play with less.
