10 Great Sand Activities

Who wouldn't want to spend everyday at the beach? If you can't make it to the beach this summer but your preschooler is begging to go, try making this tabletop beach instead. There are no jellyfish, no crowds, and you won't get sand in your shoes! This way, you can go to the beach whenever you want, all year long.

What You Need:

  • Shoebox
  • Blue, white, and yellow paint
  • Paintbrushes
  • Sand (about 2 cups)
  • Seashells (or seashell shapes cut out of cardboard)
  • Small plastic spoon (like the disposable tasting spoons at ice cream shops)
  • Beach-themed stickers
