I have been trying to make Elsie a 'Treasure Basket' for the last couple of months. A treasure basket should be a natural basket that has sides no higher than a coffee mug (so the baby can see what's in it). The basket should be filled with various objects - made of natural materials e.g. small glass jars, shells, wooden objects, wool, leather etc. There shouldn't be any plastic or brightly coloured Fisher Price-esque objects in there.
I have been searching the beach and surrounds for 'treasure' for a while now - I expected this to be easy but it has been surprisingly difficult. And then when I think I have found something cool for the treasure basket - it gets vetoed by the baby safety police (AKA Joel and Charlotte!).
Anyway, we came to a compromise and here is Elsie enjoying exploring her basket
