This weekend we had a brilliant day out at a beach hut on Mersea Island. It was so chilled out, nothing to do but chill in a deck chair while the kids played with buckets and spades and hunted for crabs. We love sea crafts for kids and as we had all day to laze around I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to try out some fun beach activities for kids from the book!

A nice chilled out day at the beach. Or just a visit to the beach, depends how chilled out your kids are 😉
How to make your stone faces:
I knew that if I gave my kids instructions they totally wouldn’t be interested as they were busy with a bucket and spade so I hunted out some plain stones and drew some parts of the face on each one, eyes, noses, mouths and hair. Sure enough my son wandered over and wanted to know what I was doing and to join in too.
He loved the concept of drawing on a pebble, I find that my kids get more interested in art and crafts when it’s something a bit ‘different’, who wants to draw on paper when you can draw on a rock?
More things to do!
You could also turn the rocks over and have to take it in turns to pick the right stones to make a face and a memory game where you can take it in turns to try and remember where all the stones are to make each face.
