Heading to the Beach – in January?

3-5· All Freebies· PK-2

As I have been working on creating more beach themed items, I realized that many of the items within the clip art were actual items I could go to my local Walmart and buy. 

Well, of course that got me to thinking as to how I would use some of the items for additional learning purposes (kind of the point, right?)

Heading to the Beach - in January?

Well, I ended up with 20 activities in all – and all using items such as beach balls, sand pails, shells, and hula hoops!  I created a Beach Theme Activities Pack with all the ideas so you could use them in your beach themed classroom (or during a beach unit) even if it was 10 below and you were buried under a foot of snow!
