Hana, from Oxford, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

Can’t get to the beach?
Is it raining? You’re miles away and don’t drive?

Why not being the beach to you with this idea.

Sand made out of blended oats. And add some toys and a mini spade (formula scoop) I got a bag of oats for 97p from Asda. Bargain! You can use cheerios too. But they’re more expensive, full of sugar and they go sticky faster.

Water in a clear dish, added some rubber ducks. And a slide that we use in the bath.

And even put her rubber ring in her paddling pool to add effect.

Blended oats for sand worked really well.

If I’d have planned it I’d have bought more beach things. Maybe a beach ball and some mini umbrellas would have been cool.

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

My name is Hana, I have one LG aged 10 months and I’m from Oxford England.

How are you finding being housebound so far?

I’ve enjoyed it but we’ve had challenging days. After all we’re all human.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Keep busy and spend time together while you have the chance.
