Last summer we took our first beach vacation as a family of four- with a not-quite-3 year old and a newborn in tow! We spent a few days on Cape Cod with family, with full days on the beach. I have never been one to spend tons of time in the sun (hi, pale skin). The baby wasn't even two months old, so I was a little nervous about the trip, but it went so well.

When I started to think about all of our favorite toys, and the ones that have stayed in rotation from toddlerhood to now, I realized that they're all non-electronic toys. My daughter started playing with most of these around the time she was 18 months/2 years old and still plays with most of them at 3.5.
