Time spent at the beach is never wasted, we Aussies know that best, especially when that time is with your kids. We are blessed with plenty of beaches that can guarantee a whole day of family fun. Kids will definitely enjoy the time spent at the beach, they are curious and full of energy, except that when having nothing to do. That's when they can get bored very easily. Sitting on the sand can get dull after the first hour or two. But luckily, kids beach toys are here to save the day.
Kids love sand, they are fascinated by the texture of it. Maybe it's because it gives them the freedom to think beyond the normal rules of life. Making sand castles, towers and imaginary homes gives them a belief that they are building something on their own. That is why every parent needs kids beach toys like a bucket and shovel when on the beach. You can also bring a set of miniature figurines like one with dragons and knights that can turn the sandcastle into a medieval reality. This way your child can easily come up with background stories regarding the figurines. As soon as you arrive at the beach you can also deep a hole in the sand with the help of a shovel. Kids can also help in the process. They love holes and soon after they will try to fill it, jump in it, sit in it and bury things.
A sand drill is another beach toy that's perfect for making holes in the sand but also for creating tunnels or drill looking for water in the sand.
Having something like a sand casting kit for creating beach treasure souvenirs will also keep your kids occupied. They can express their creative side while creating something that can be taken home. Plus it's a great way to score some peace and quiet time to maybe finish your book while your kids search the beach for shells.
Sand moles are other kids beach toys you can take on the beach. Sand can take many different forms. Kids can make their own sand monsters, dinosaur fossils or iconic structures like the Taj Mahal, the Egyptian Pyramids and the Parthenon out from the sand.
But more than just fun, these toys can help kids learn some practical and social skills. As they are scooping and sifting, dumping and moulding sand with the help of kids beach toys they can learn more than just what they can do with sand. They’re also building important practical skills and learning social and emotional lessons about life. Nothing is set in sand, castles and imaginary structures will eventually fall over. In life, all things also change eventually, so kids can learn to enjoy things for the moment and create something amazingly different and just as awesome next time.
For young children, playing with beach sand toys can also help exercise their hands-on capacity. They can use their hands to explore. Many experts believe that use of the hand is the primary way children can learn about their surroundings. They need to touch, mold, and deconstruct and the sand is perfect for that. That way they can also strengthen fingers and hand muscles, which is precursors for other activities like handwriting, many sports and self-sufficiency tasks like buttoning clothes and tying shoes.
During play, kids can become completely absorbed in their imagined mini-worlds and dig into imaginary play. On top of that, they can learn a lot of new words, sand can feel like so many adjectives like rough, smooth, hot, muddy, squishy, runny, dry and more.
During a play kids can collaborate - just picture four or five kids working on a massive road-building project in a sandbox and you’ll witness some amazing brainstorming, collaboration and negotiation.
Eventually, when you think that your kids have grown up the toys and it's time to give up on them, there are many ways to do so. If the toys still have life in them it's always a good option to give them away to someone else that can use them like friends' kids or donate them. Another option is to find a municipal program that accepts toys for recycling.
