Everyone knows about making sand castles at the beach but there are lots of other fun art related projects one can do with any age kid but adults, too. The best part is you don’t need a thing except a willingness to gather materials and a lot of imagination.

We found this lovely lady left behind on the beach one day a few weeks ago….I have no idea who made her but they obviously lavished a lot of love and care on her.

I often like to do some rock and sand art with the kids I teach in the summer and they come up with some amazing pieces. One day we made rock turtles and these are some of the ones the kids, ages 9-12, came up with.

Check out the attention to detail in this one

and this one….

This one was smaller

but they were all imaginative and fun

The next few days on the Cape will be picture perfect for all sorts of outdoor activities but if you find yourself at the beach, why not make a rock and sand picture of your own?
