Oh, sand. Sometimes we love you, sometimes we loathe you — but the kids always have a great time with this sensory-friendly activity that encourages them to get down to build, dig, and play! It also helps us parents cultivate a ‘brush it off’ attitude that comes in handy during parenting, if we’re being honest here. Chuck a couple of beach towels in the back of the car or stroller and head to these fun destinations.
We’ve rounded up a big list of local parks with sand available to play. Use this list to find a great park for your sand-loving kiddos to dig, tunnel, and build to their hearts’ content.
