One other thing that I have noticed with children at the beach, and pretty much anywhere, is that they love rocks. The toddlers will pick one up and walk around with it in their fist. The older children will stick them in their pockets or pails if they are at the beach. So with that in mind I set up a few activities around rocks while we were at the beach on Monday.
They stacked rocks into towers.
Went on a scavenger hunt to find rocks to match the pictures.
They counted rocks.
First matching rock to rock on the pictures then counting them.
But the most popular was painting rocks.
What is an activity that you have done around rocks?
