Pond dipping

This week, we made nets for pond dipping.  They were very easy to make, although did require a bit of sewing.  They were made with bamboo sticks, net curtains (from a charity shop) and metal coat hangers.  We attached the coat hangers to the sticks, and sewed a piece of net curtain to the coat hanger.

After our session at the hall, we went to a Fyne Court, where they have a little pond perfect for pond dipping.  The children had lots of fun dipping in the pond, and then trying to identify their finds!  Pictures below!
