Can extend on activity by making a house for the dolly pegs using cardboard boxes, fabric and other bits of recycled materials.


Here's our experience making Dolly Pegs :) 

.....And what your imagination can achieve

The boys are still playing with their dolly pegs half an hour later....they have been reduced to just plain pegs lol but we have been creative, my 4yo got to play with glue (always a highlight for him) and they have something new to play with. They would have last a lot longer if they had the patience to let them dry!

Wooden Dolly Pegs can be purchased from most craft stores and 2 dollar shops. All up we spent $2 on a pack of dolly pegs, $2 for a pack of different coloured felt squares, $2.50 for PVA Glue and $2 for a ball of wool and we have heaps of felt, glue and wool for our next craft activity.
