Quick & Easy Beach Sensory Activity for Little Kids
Here’s a Quick & Easy Beach Sensory Activity for Little Kids! It’s great way to practice those oh-so-important fine motor skills. You’re definitely going to want to check it out!
We’re getting ready to wrap up our Ocean Commotion preschool theme and the little guy and I are both looking forward to learning about Growing Gardens. We like totally skipped spring and it’s been 80+ degrees for the last few days. Hard to believe, I know. Today we’re sharing this great Beach Sensory Activity that your kids will for sure love!
This week, it’s totally been warm enough to play in the water. Last week on the other hand, not so much. Instead we ended up putting together a quick & easy beach sensory activity. Talk about having a blast, though.

A huge thanks to Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for providing us with their Experience Preschool curriculum for free in exchange for sharing our honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. It’s been such a huge blessing to us! As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own.
Keep in mind that all preschoolers do things in their own time and on their own terms. What one is ready for, another might not be. Please use your best mama judgement when planning activities for your little kids.
The little guy loves anything and everything sand and water and of course learning about the ocean has meant a nice mix of the two. We have a fun water activity to share next week, but today it’s all about sand.

Like really, it doesn’t get any easier than that. And not surprisingly, the little guy is all about these kinds of activities. The messier, the better… You know, at least in his eyes.
I love having lesson plans that are already created for me, but I definitely still enjoy being creative too. Every now and again, the two collide and we end up with an impromptu activity that goes along with our monthly theme.
This just happened to be one of those days. Lol… It’s the little things in life, right?
