Thanks Antennille - you can do a lot of it on that budget! The beach balls that I have hanging are from Orential Trading and cheap for the dozen of them...big impact for little price....the sand pails and shovels were easy to find and $ 1 each..great for food and snacks..

Hi Mindy - I bought it at Oriental Trading Co but it was a few years ago now. Suggestion if I may - blue plastic tablecloth from a party store....add a sun made from foamcore board...make a tree... 8)
