Christmas Treasure basket
Has anyone made up one of these for Christmas .. would love to know what you included in it.

I'm thinking of putting dried oranges/lemons, voile bags of cinnamon sticks or sandpaper shapes rubbed with cinnamon, large bells, velvet, holographic foil wrapping paper something fluffy, pine cones all under very close supervision of course will add more when I do it
|
Oh Love the bags of Cinnamon idea, excellent :D

Some smells definitely stir memories don't they? I'm also going to make some wooly pompoms in christmassy colours and maybe use sparkly yarn, thought about baubles too but will have to look into the safety aspect first, it would be nice to link into the nativity somehow.

Watgem, I'm just experimenting with different wools for pompoms, so gimme a couple of days and, hopefully, I'll have some photos of them posted! :thumbsup:

That sounds fab! Can't wait to see them!

Hi Chloe, theres a lovely book called The Little Book of Treasure Baskets published by Featherstone Educacation which is really helpful. Basically we were told on our B23 course don't put anything in that would cause you worry and obviously babies must be very closely supervised but perhaps you could include things like an orange, one of those silver scrubby pan washer things, a clean pine cone, a sponge, crinkly paper tied up in a clean colourful piece of fabric things that couldn't be choked on and things that you and your grandsons mum would be comfortable with. Hope that helps, it is quite nerve -racking at first but the babies and little ones do really enjoy them. They are also a cheap resource which can be easily thrown away and replaced.:dizzy:
