My familys recent adventures have led us to the beach on a fairly regular basis.
Beach Sandwriting
Weve all heard of handwriting, but have you ever tried sandwriting?
The wet beach sand presents a perfect opportunity for practicing handwriting and/or spelling words with a stick.
That said, your little ones may have no idea just what lives in and around the ocean.
Why not use your beach day as a lesson in ocean creatures and their habitat?
Catching and observing hermit crabs is a great way to learn about these little crustaceans.
Sandcastle Science on the Beach
Every kid loves science.
Fortunately, bringing science to the beach is easy peasy.
Encourage the young scientist to make a hypothesis and explain the reasoning behind their hypothesis.
Beach Day Seashell Math
No beach day is complete without a bit of shell collecting.
Unfortunately, collecting shells ultimately leads to the issue of finding a place to store them.
Shells are perfect for this because they are plentiful, interesting to look at, and fun to handle.
After a couple of hours of sand and water play, your kids are sure to need a break.
After all, who can argue with having a bit of fun while you learn?
