Summer is such a great time to play and enjoy time with your kids. There are so many fun activities for kids on these hot summer days! A wonderful activity to try with your kids is to go to the beach and explore for crabs, fish and shells and other fun things! (Of course you need to be able to get to a beach to do this. Although, if you don’t have a beach you can go to the park or woods and search for bugs and animals! ) We have a beach that has rocks by it and crabs love to hide under them! Kids can spend hours searching through the rocks for crabs to fill their buckets! Make sure to have a bucket with a handle and a net and you will be ready to go searching. You can fill up the buckets with a little sea water and once you find a crab, starfish or little fish you can put them in the bucket. This way kids get an up close and personal view of the crabs/sealife. Once they are done checking the sealife out they can let them go in the ocean.
It’s always fun to do some reading before you go on an adventure like this. You can read about some of the sealife they might find at the ocean. Make sure to bring a camera so you can take pictures of the crabs, starfish etc they find. Then they can look at the pictures afterwords and relive the fun they had. You can even get adventurous and have your kids create a book about their adventure. They can draw pictures of what they saw, and glue in pictures you took. You will certainly have some great memories and a fun day after spending a day at the beach like this!
