'Temporary' cheap pond ideas for child!

Well this is about 1ft wide, 3-4 long and 2 deep so I don't I'll get that! 

Now, dragonfly lave or frogs and I'll probably be more excited than my son!

I had a pair of Mallards  come into our pond for a few days and they  wrecked it, and ate all the weed and snails.

Similarly I had someone helpfully add some sticklebacks to a school pond I was responsible for. In a  year or so there was pretty much nothing except sticklebacks and leeches. I had to wait till the winter holiday to pump the whole thing out over the grass.

If you fancy a rockery it's usually the cheapest way to get a pond.

We have ducks on the sea here. I watched them surfing this winter.

And a regular pair in the harbour. One on it's own this year and followed me around in the hope of sharing a sandwich.

You could get a little plastic one to float, or a duck noise whistle and tell him they are nearby.
