FRUGAL FUN AT THE BEACH Now on a sunny day, the beach may seem like an obvious choice. It is a natural environment for frugal fun: picnics, sandcastles and splashing around in the water. Many people are less keen when the weather isn’t quite as nice, but don’t right it off just yet. There are plenty of non weather dependent activities to keep your family having fun for free! For a start, children are inherently interested in finding interesting stones and shells, and this can turn into quite an adventure if you let it. You could make it a competition, such as finding the smoothest stone, or the most interesting shell. Fossil hunting is another fantastic family activity for those who are interested in dinosaurs and history. Some areas are better than others for this of course, but the fun is in the trying! Totally free fun, with an educational element to it - my personal favourite! Going for a simple walk is another of our frugal favourites. You can simply walk and take in the scenery, or you can make it a nature spotting adventure. Whatever inspires your family! We also enjoy taking nets to the beach, and seeing what we can catch. On a cold day, there are much less people around, and it feels very peaceful and serene. Of course, you can still do the sunny day activities on a cold day, such as building sandcastles and swimming, by simply adjusting your clothing... and your mindset! Please let us know what your favourite frugal beach activities are. #beach #colddayatthebeach #frugalfun #freedayout #nature #kidsinnature #adventuringwithkids #beachday #visitnature #wellbeing #mentalhealth #exploringnaturewithchildren #jellyfish #beachrocks #seashells #beachwalks #family #familytime #fossilhunting #cheap #free #frugalliving #frugal (at Norfolk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCZIFkogbj/?utm_medium=tumblr
