I set this up whilst the boys were building their castle. Without a flat surface, it’s much trickier than it looks! Aside from hand-eye coordination, this takes patience and resilience.

Resources

  • Rainbow pebbles
  • Beach pebbles

Method

Finn came over first to deconstruct the pebble towers and reposition them.

Meanwhile, Ioan built a tower with the beach pebbles. After Ioan’s tower toppled, crushing his hand, he decided the rainbow pebbles were a safer option!
