🌊 On the Beach: A Sensory Adventure!
The beach is a magical place for little ones, filled with textures, sounds, and smells that spark curiosity and growth. Last week, we experienced it firsthand on a Dutch beach — our baby’s first time feeling sand, hearing seagulls, and taking in the salty breeze.
At home, we prepared with taste-safe sensory trays and playful activities inspired by the seaside. Whether you’re planning a beach day or recreating the magic at home, this post has tips, DIY ideas, and printables — now available in English and Flemish/Dutch!
