A neat Beach theme Idea is to
make some blue Jell-o and put some on each child's plate. Also put
graham cracker crumbs on the other side of the plate (for the beach)
have some gummy fish, sharks etc... lifesavers , peanuts for
sunbathers etc and let the kids create their own beach scene that
they can then eat.
