I love the beach and ocean. Unfortunately, living in southwest Ohio means the beach is at least 12 hours away and we are lucky if we get there once a year. Ellie has yet to experience a real beach or ocean so I wanted to bring the experience to her right here. Today I am featuring some of my favorite beach and ocean themed sensory play ideas for kids of all ages.
Beach And Ocean Themed Sensory Play Ideas for Kids
Last week I made her a sand and seashell washing sensory bin outside. We really had a lot of fun with it and you can read about how to set yours up here: Beach Themed Water Sensory Table for Toddlers.
I also did this Seashell Washing Practical Life Activity with her the day after and she really enjoyed it.
