We are going to the beach and that can be fun and exciting. I can try to remember some important things

I can pack my towel, extra  clothes snacks, sunhat, goggles and toys with help from a grown-up

The sun might feel too hot — my sunhat, sunscreen and sunglasses can help me stay cool

I might get sand on my skin — I can brush it off or ask for a wipe. 

That's OK

I will stay close to Mum and Dad and follow the beach rules to stay safe

If I feel tired I can sit in the shade and play with my favourite toy
