Seaside Shell Windchime Craft

Recently my father (Opapa) was visiting and we decided to head to the seaside in Whitstable for a Sunny Day out. The sound of the waves, crashing on the shore, the crunching of a bebbly beach under foot. The kids adored “finding things” and we spotted lots of little jelly fish, a sea snail (to much excitement, as we love snails generally in our house), some sea glass, shells and lots and lots of stones. A lovely day all round. Whitstable has some great “holey stones” that I have never seen before (apparently you hang them on your backdoor to ward off evil spirits) and I thought they, plus some broken shells would make a great beach/ seaside mobile! We usually NEVER collect broken shells, but for once we were on a mission. I can’t “do” with drilling holes when crafting with the kids, so natural holes it is.
