Junebugs will love getting their hands dirty as they experiment with a variety of textures (i.e. sand, glue, finger paint) to create beautiful beach scenes.
Tasty Treasure Hunt
Junebugs will engage in a fun game of pretend play as they collect treasures found along the seashore (i.e. pretzels= driftwood, cheerios= coral, goldfish crackers, chocolate chips= shells/pebbles, and veggie straws= seaweed ) to create a trail mix delicious snack.
Sugar Cone Sandcastle
Junebugs will practice shapes as they use their fine motor skills, blue yogurt, crushed graham crackers, sugar cubes, and sugar cones to build and design sand castles.
Backyard Beach

“Five Little Seashells”
5 little shells lying on the shore,
Crash went the waves and then their was 4.
4 little shells down by the sea,
Crash went the waves! then there was 3.
3 little shells, smooth as new,
Crash went the waves! then there were 2.
2 little shells, sparkling in the sun,
Crash went the waves! Then there was 1.
1 little shell, left by itself,
I took it home, and put it on my shelf.

“The Waves on the Beach”
(tune: Wheels on the Bus)
The waves at the beach go up and down, up and down, up and down,
the waves at the beach go up and down, all day long.
The crabs at the beach, crawl back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,
The lobsters at the beach go, snap, snap, snap; snap, snap, snap, snap, snap,
The clams at the beach will open and shut, open and shut, open and shut
The waves at the beach go up and down, up and down, up and down,

The lobsters at the beach go, snap, snap, snap; snap, snap, snap, snap, snap,
The clams at the beach will open and shut, open and shut, open and shut
We hope to see your little one for a day of play in the sand, surf, and sun!
Stay cool!
