placed in the black octagonal builders tray (bought from any large builders or diy store - designed for builders mixing cement - has a million uses)

also put in polar bears and penguins they stay frozen for ages. salt on them also makes the ice crack

When I saw sequins as the topic I didn't imagine to find so much info about builders trays!!!

At our local scrapstore you can buy empty, clear cd cases. The children can choose sequins to put in (fine manip skills) along with coloured rice etc and we help them sellotape them up so nothing falls out. They make brilliant, beautiful multisensory shakers or decorations - a bit like a kaleidoscope only easier to see!
