Vacation Fun

by

We are off to the beach for a few days and I am thinking of some things to do with the kids. Here are some fun beach ideas for kids of all ages.

PAINT SHELLS
1. Rinse a few shells with water and let them dry
2. Paint pictures on the inside of each shell
3. Set finished shells out in the sun until dry

MAKE BUBBLES
1. mix 1 cup of water with 1/3 cup of Dawn dishwashing liquid and 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup. Use straws to blow little bubbles.

MAKE SAND PICTURE
1. Get black or dark colored paper
2. Use the glue to draw a picture on the paper.
3. Sprinkle sand on the glue picture, then shake excess off.
4. Frame the masterpiece!

Have fun in the sun!
