- SANDCASTLE
You can build up a sandcastle from water and sand. Try to be creative!

- PICNIC
Traveling is a nice occasion to make a stop for a picnic. First of all, traveling with kids can be tiring and you have to stop the car to rest every hour.

If you have enough time, you can plan your picnic beforehand and fill in your picnic basket with drinks, sweets, board games, papers, and pencils.
- SHELL MOSAIC
If your kids think it is boring to collect shells on the beach, ask them to create a shell mosaic. Of course, they need as many shells and stones as they can find. It can be a real work of art. Just take photos for your family album and leave your mosaic for others. The water will wash it away at full sea.
