Day at the beach

This swap is to get our dolls ready for summer with a trip to the beach! You will make a play set with 5 beach themed items. At least one of them will be a swimsuit. Most of the items should be handmade but some of them can be store-bought. Each item should be of good quality, clean and doll size.

Some ideas for beach-themed items include but not limited to:
Cover-up, towel, Sunscreen, Sun hat, sunglasses, seashells, flip-flops, pail and shovel, beach ball, beach bag

Here are some links for craft tutorials and free patterns for beach-themed items:
