Tom and Pippo on the Beach– Tom has a lovely day at the beach but is upset at the end of the day when he realises he has lost his treasured monkey, Pippo. Younger (and older) children can enjoy making sandhills to jump off or digging holes in the sand – who can dig the deepest? Fill shallow holes with water to create paddling pools. Make sure any deep holes are filled in before you leave so no one falls in! Sound discrimination: traffic sounds , horns honking , watery sounds , waves crashing , beach sounds , seagull screeching , digging sounds . This simple idea is always a loved one! Simply hide shells and other beach treasures in the sand for children to find and sort. Next time you go to the beach can you build a sandcastle? Can you make some model flags for your sandcastle?
