Headed to the shore? To keep young beach bums out of the sun and safely entertained (and supervised) near your beach chair, try this made-in-the-shade suggestion.

Materials

• Small inflatable wading pool
• Umbrella

• Toys

Instructions

1. Set a small inflatable wading pool under an umbrella and fill it with toys and ocean water. Little ones will still get the full beach experience -- in wave-free miniature -- and older siblings can busy themselves fetching buckets of brine.
