Some beachin’ Q&A:
What kind of toys do you recommend for these TikTok Beach Hacks?
I recommend anything that is waterproof and can get sandy. Pretty much anything plastic, no stuffed animals or anything to that extent.
What if you don’t have a plastic tub?
A big plastic bin will work just fine as well! Basically, you can use anything that is plastic and will hold water.
Why use a makeup brush to apply sunscreen?
A makeup brush is gentler on the skin and isn’t as forceful as rubbing. You can totally use your hands if you want to; it’s more of a personal preference.
What can I use if I don’t have a mesh bag?
Any kind of bag will work. The mesh helps the sand escape, so you don’t bring half the beach back with you when you get home. The choice is totally up to you!
If you struggle with keeping your kids entertained at the beach, this hack will be a life-saver for you!
