This Dino Wash activity is a low-prep, easy and fun idea for your little ones. Simple, yet, I can vouch for this, kids are going to looovvee it!
My kids are currently obsessed with these little toys dinosaurs Grammy got them. She originally bought them to take to the beach to play with them in sand, but the kids loved them so much they wanted to bring them all inside that first evening. And this was a perfect time to give them a little wash from all the sticky ocean sand 🙂
Once I set-up the activity, the kiddos were at bay quietly washing away their little dinosaurs. This activity kept them busy, happy and surprisingly not too messy!
