Beach ideas for the summer

Family beach days can be a lot of fun if you’re prepared! Of course, sand and water are a combination that invite free play – and sensory play – and will trigger most kids’ imaginations to create fabulous, undirected games and activities.

But having a list of engaging ideas in your back pocket might mean the difference between them wanting to pack it in after only an hour at the beach and not being able to drag them home after several.

Whether you’re heading to the ocean or the lake, don’t forget to pack some basic beach toys, hats, and sunscreen, and healthy snacks and water to keep them energized and hydrated.
