Beach and Ocean Themed Kid Activities
We had so much fun last year exploring bugs for a Bug Themed Activities for Kids post. The Beach and Ocean Themed Kid Activities were put together to inspire and help plan a summer camp week at home, school, or church… This year Sugar Aunts got some of us together to bring you another fun summer camp themed post. Today we are exploring the Beach and Ocean. This post is full of crafts, activities, books, and snack ideas for a week of camp. Some we have tried and many we want to do this summer. I hope you can be inspired to have some beach and ocean fun at home too.

Frozen Activities Kids Will Love on Fun A Day
I love that these are so easy for young preschoolers. Lately my 3-year-old has been feeling frustrated with trying to do crafts with my older kids. These will be so fun for him.
My kids will love all of these ideas this summer!
What a cute idea!
My toddler just loves the beach. Will have to try some of these with her.
