                   Bottles (peanut butter jars, baby food jars, etc.)

                   Sand

                   Sea Creatures

                   Rocks

                   Water

Hula Skirt

                   Paper Bag

                   Scissors

                   Yarn

                   Stapler

                   Paint

                   Glitter

What You Do:

                   Cut the Top off the bag. Then cut strips up leaving enough to fold over at the top. Fold the top over putting yarn on the inside of the fold. Next staple the top to hold the yarn in. The Yarn works as a belt to keep the hula skirt up when the children are playing. Next give the children the skirts and let them decorate their skirts. Make a few extra skirts as they occasionally tear.

Make Your Own Beach Towel

What You Need:

                   Large Piece of paper

                   Paint

                   Glitter and any other material you want

What You Do:

                   Give the children the paper and let them design their own peach towels.

Leigh

What You Need:

                   Yarn (long enough to reach around children's necks)

                   Tissue Paper

What You Do:

                   Cut out squares of different colored tissue paper and punch a hole through the middle (you can use a pencil or hole punch). Then let the children string the paper onto the yarn creating a great Leigh. Some children will use all one color, some will vary their colors, some will make unique patterns, one thing that is for sure is that they all will be unique.
