Visit The Beach!
There's so much to explore at the beach, and fortunately, the Comox Valley has them in abundance! When the tide is out, kids can roam to their heart's content. For added fun, use Google Lens (or a similar app) to take a picture and identify the various things you come across. It's like having your very own guide, right in your pocket!
Create your own scavenger hunt and see if you can spot all of these common beach features:
Seagulls
Seals
Sea Stars (aka Starfish)
Crabs
Barnacles
Driftwood
Seashells
