Have fun with stones and rocks by the beach

Rock on..

Stones and rocks by the beach offer many activities for kids. I’m sure if you take a trip to the beach you will soon discover kids are naturally drawn to rocks. Whether it is to master the art of skipping rocks or creating rock gardens. One my daughter’s favorite things to do is to collect them. She is always finding some rock worth having in her mind. We will sometimes display them in a shadow box or Mason jar when we come home.

"Sea, Shell, Salt"


Seashell craft

By Kari Svenneby
One simple joy the seaside offers is collecting seashells. I used to have quite a collection of them as child. I guess I never grew up because I still enjoying collecting shells as an adult and have quite a collection in my home. There is something meditative in collecting shells by the shore. It amuses me to see that my daughter also likes it as much as I do.

How to make your own soap bubbles solution


By Kari Svenneby
What a simple joy soap bubbles can be for children. It is so beautiful and joyful to see children’s fascination with chasing them and seeing them get excited over making something so perfect. (Such a beautiful color and shape.) Soap bubbles and soap films demonstrate mathematic symmetry and natural science and may be one of the world’s best and cheapest toys for children.

Sand Play

Nice weather and sun finally! Beach and lazy days…

Did you know that through sand play children develop physical development, social skills, cognitive development, mathematical skills, science concepts and language skills?
All we adults need to do is to encourage and supervise their play. There is a lot of stuff you can do with the sand. Well, some times it is nice to be like a child and again and dig in the sand, and see what you come up with.
