Went to beach

Science

• The child learned about different types of marine animals and their habitats.
• They observed the movement of waves and learned about the concept of tides.
• They discovered the different textures of sand and shells found at the beach.
• The child learned about the importance of sunscreen and protecting their skin from the sun.

For continued development, encourage the child to create a beach-themed sensory bin at home. They can fill a large container with sand, shells, and small plastic marine animals. This will provide them with an opportunity to explore different textures and learn about the animals and their habitats. They can also use this sensory bin to learn about the concept of tides by creating waves with their hands and observing how it affects the sand and objects in the bin.
