A beach vacation is fun, but you can also incorporate learning activities into your vacation to make it more exciting and engaging for your kids.
I made this cute beach scavenger hunt free printable as a fun beach activity so you can relax while your kids are occupied looking for beach objects. Because while mom and dad may like to lay in a beach chair, kids need something to do most of the time. This will keep them busy so you can enjoy a little “me” time.
I also have printable St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt clues, Easter scavenger hunt clues, and Christmas scavenger hunt clues.
