Head down to the beach and make a fun Name Collage using stones and pebbles. A fun learning activity for preschoolers working on name recognition.<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

When the weather allows (and sometimes when it doesn’t) we love to pack up a picnic and head down to our local beach. My kids go mad for a spot of hole digging (in pursuit of treasure usually), sandcastle building and paddling fun.<\/p>\n

It’s also great to bring some of our activities down to the beach. There’s nothing like a good dose of fresh air to inspire creativity or stimulate the senses for a learning activity.<\/p>\n

We completed these Creative Collages<\/a> using pebbles and stones on a recent trip to the beach.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

Bella is heading to big school after the summer break. So\u00a0we really need to put some extra effort in making her more proficient in recognising and writing her own name.<\/p>\n

She is showing more of an interest in individual letters now. And we need to keep building on this over the summer break to keep the momentum going.<\/p>\n

On a recent trip to the beach I set her brothers the task of helping her write her name in the sand, using stones and pebbles.<\/p>\n

Summer Learning Activity: Create a Name Collage on the Beach<\/h2>\n

I traced her name into the sand, whilst they got busy collecting lots of little stones and pebbles to complete the name collage.<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

They worked really well together on this activity. So I am hopeful that it will go some way to helping Bella with her name recognition skills.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to checking out these name recognition activities from Growing Book by Book <\/a>over the summer break with her as well.<\/p>\n
