Kids Building Sandcastles at the Beach with Kite and Lighthouse

Three children kneel in the sand around a tall sandcastle that has turrets and a little shell decoration on the front. A boy in flowered swim trunks packs sand into a bucket, a girl with a ponytail pats the castle, and another girl in a floppy, bow-trimmed sun hat digs with a small shovel next to a shell-patterned pail. In front of them you'll see a beach ball, a starfish, seashells, a little crab and a seagull. Farther back, a child flies a diamond kite with a ribbon tail, three sailboats drift on the water, and a lighthouse stands among palm trees on a hill. Look closely and you'll also find a lifeguard tower, a polka-dot umbrella, a striped umbrella, a beach chair and a person relaxing in the shade. Red and yellow work well for the lighthouse and kite, with soft sandy tans for the castle. It's a free printable PDF for a screen-free activity at home.
