Beach activities for children

It’s summer officially! Your child is just starting his well deserved holiday and you’re already planning a family getaway to the beach. It’s time for you to read about some fun games and activities for your child because beach days can be long and might turn boring for your active kid.

Firstly, remember that sunscreen is key! Since he is going to spend so much time in the sun, always make him wear a hat, a t-shirt and proper sun protection for his delicate skin. Then, you can start any of the next games in which both children and parents are encouraged to participate. Activities: 1. Kite flying. This is a very good activity to increase attention and care of your child. Plus, it’s a lot of fun! You can always rely on a good breeze for your child’s kite. 2. Exploring the beach. Collecting seashells and pebbles. It’s one of the best ways you can introduce them to the marine environment. Encourage them to find a variety of colours and shapes of seashells and pebbles. 3. Playing with beach toys (plastic shovel, rake, bucket etc.). You child is definitely going to use these toys in his beach games. 4. Ball games. Either volleyball or football, children love playing with a ball. They’ll learn new rules and have a lot of fun trying to be competitive. 5. Sand sculptures. This is the perfect activity for when you child has grown tired, but still feels active enough to get engaged in a creative activity. You can join him and help build sand castles, bridges or anything they imagine. Makes sure you’ve applied enough sun cream, as this activity may take a while. You can always bring a Frisbee a floatable surf rider and take the game to the sea, where the water is not deep for them. They’ll enjoying mixing this new element into their games. Have a great holiday!
