How about the kids making sand castles on the beach?
They can pick up a bucket, then to the sandy shore and create castles or maybe even figures like on Easter Island, could even learn some building skills?

I would love to see them have a puddle of water to play in, (all kids love water) and perhaps the ability to laugh. I'd like to see the kids have things to play with, like a swing made out of a vine.
