A Metal and Shiny Objects Treasure Basket!

I asked my Mum to keep her eye out for metal and shiny bits and bobs for a new treasure basket for Idris.... and THIS is what she came back with.... the most amazing, super-inventive collection all ready in a basket! She collected metals of different types and colours, as well as metallic items and it is so well put together....

It contains:

• A pile of disposable metal pie tins
• A solid non-stick black coated pie tin
• A couple of small coloured tins that open in different ways
• A mesh desk-tidy pen holder
• A red metal bucket
• A set of metal bangles
• A set of spanners in different sizes
• A ring of interesting keys
• A plug stopper
• A brass decorative kettle
• A balloon whisk
• A tea strainer
• A metallic bouncy cat toy
• A spiral metal egg cup
• A spiral toast rack.....
• .....with gold and silver metallic coated scouring pads slotted into it
• A metal drinks tin with a money slot in the top.....
• ..... and a packet of oversized metal paperclips just PERFECT to post into the slot (see Iddy below - he is really into posting things this last few weeks and sat down immediatly to post clips into the tin!!)
• Two blank CDs
• A mirrored coaster

I love this treasure basket and it has already provided hours of entertainment for Idris - treasure baskets are so easy to put together and you can add to them over time. Mum thinks all the things for this (some found, some bought) came to about £20 which is much less than commercially available ones.... go on, give it a go - it's what carboots, pound shops and the like were invented for!!!!
