Trip to the English seaside

A Cozy Children audio adventure

CD description: We board the train bound for the English seaside, a place of warmth and play. The children wiggle their toes in the sand, taking in the shiny blue sea.

It’s a day for serene adventures, beginning with the construction of a clever sand castle. We buy a bright blue shovel and pail for the job. And then a flag to flutter atop, marking your child’s very own kingdom.

Then it’s off to find the ice cream man. A cool lemonade sounds delightful, too.

This being England, there’s a Punch & Judy puppet show for the delight of the laughing children. Mr. Punch sure is silly.

As the day ebbs, we find time to visit the tide pool, looking for tiny crabs and big sea shells. Your child listens for the sound of the sea inside a shell — yes! … how clever!

Where did the day go, so deliciously?

Learning: This children’s audio CD from Dr. Katrina Wood expands kids’ powers of imagination and teaches them relaxation techniques.
