we just went to the local £ shop and picked up as many cheap things we could find that had interesting textures, so it was a real mishmash of shaving brushes, coasters, toothbrushes, napkin rings, loofah, whisk, spoons - anything cheap basically and the kids loved it.

Have started building mine!

Was doing my Asda shop online so added a few random things that they had cheap:

Loofah
Pumice Stone
Balloon Whisk
Wooden Spoon
Rubber Ball
Flannel
Velvet Powder Puff
Measuring Spoons
3-Bell Shaker
Mini Feather Boa
Nail Brush.
Silicone Cupcake Case

Tomorrow I am going to have a look in some local charity shops for some small wooden & leather things.
I want to get a shaving brush, pine cone, some cotton reels, not sure what else .. plus I want a lidded basket to keep it all in
