Activities to engage your kids at Diani Beach

Getting kids involved in interesting activities to avoid the boredom bug  shouldn’t be an option for folks coming to Diani Beach. But what kind of activities are we looking at here. Activities that your one year old, three and ten year old will gladly join in. For starters there are basic beach side activities for kids.

1. Using the expansive white sand at Diani Beach as an art-board – Get the kids to draw pictures of their favorite objects or people. They always love doing this whether they use a stick or their bare fingers.

2. Treasure hunts – The activity simply calls for a search of something interesting or valuable at Diani Beach. This could be either some sea shells or rare rock and whoever brings back the most interesting find gets a reward. Kids love rewards even for the most mundane things.

3. Building objects like cars or boats is another fun activity to indulge your kids. The object built should accommodate the kids despite its immobility. While at it, sand sculpture is another interesting engagement. Get the kids to make sculptures of sea animals like turtles and the big fish. Participating in this activity as a family makes it better and the kids get really thrilled. You can also build a huge sand castle as you while your time away on Diani Beach.

4. This activity really gets kids excited. It involves digging a hole away from the sea waters and filling it with water. In this case you need to use some fetching vessels. The journey to and from the sea edge gets the young ones ecstatic. Be watchful for strong waves lest you end your fun excise terribly. Alternatively you can dig a channel from the sea and let the water flow to a small dam that you have build before hand complete with flow controls.

Games such as beach volleyball are another fun option but since it is more preferred by older kids and adults, the young ones might get bored soon. You don’t want to have  bored kid on the Diani beach because they will soon demand to go back to the hotel or home if they get cranky enough.
