Stargrower Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Does anyone know if you can buy extra pins for Tap a Shape (cork boards and little hammers with pins that you hammer in)? Our stock is pretty depleted and the children love it. I looked online but no joy. Do I have to buy a whole new set? Quote
FSFRebecca Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 This has come up before I think .... I don't know if any of these responses help you? Tap a Shape 1 Quote

Stargrower Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 Hmmm, I might try upholstery pins but I think the heads are too big. I found some on the Cosy website but including VAT and delivery, they were nearly £20 which seems a lot! Think I'll take one of the few pins we have left to the local hardware shop and ask if they can find one similar. Quote

lsp Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 New pins and boards. I can feel an 'Only Fools and Horses' broom moment coming on (for those who are fans). 1 Quote

louby loo Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 I found some pins in Trago Mills a few years ago - not proper ones, they were just in the DIY section £1.50 Cork boards - I brought some from a charity shop for 50p. They were actually table mats so slightly thicker than cork tiles, and nicely finished around the edges. My husband couldn't work out why I was so excited! :lol: :lol: 3 Quote
