We headed to the beach for a magical adventure searching for lost mermaid jewels.
Before we went I had been given some decorative plastic diamonds which can be bought in home ware stores or eBay. I placed them secretively in rock pools & wrote a message on a rock for the kids to find.
I wrote a message on a rock when the kids weren’t looking to install a magical element of mermaids…
The kids then scoured through rock pools..
and then the first jewel was found..
followed by the discovery of a mermaid sponge made out of rock..
they looked to the sea in the hope of a glimpse of mermaids playing in the waves and we’re sure we saw the tail of one disappearing beneath the rolling waves!
Noah even spent some time calling out to them..
then we found some more! 5 altogether!!
our loot bag was full of shells, pebbles, driftwood & diamonds!
And then the most amazing and unbelievable thing happened which threw me….one of the children came to me with a jewel they had found but this time it was not a jewel I had secretly dropped!! On the vast stretch of beach whilst searching for mermaid jewels the children had ironically and crazily stumbled upon a diamond amongst the rocks that I definitely had not placed!! A million to one chance finding of a truly magical gem 🙂
(Not sure if it’s real but the magic most certainly is & maybe it’s just a case of believing!)
