I've been thinking ahead to this summer and wondering how on earth I'm going to get 3 kids on and off the beach. Although we generally pack light, we still manage to lose or forget things constantly. I also hate that what is so neatly packed on the way in, somehow seems to multiply and we struggle to get everything back to the car. I realized that the biggest source of stress are the towels. By the time we leave, they're wet and sandy and for a small child it's nearly impossible to carry drag. Even with a beach cart or wagon they're the first things to slip off (bringing other items with them), get caught in the wheels, or just plain weigh things down. Ever the solution-maker, I designed the Beach Towel Backpack!
I whipped this up using two standard beach towels. I included a pocket perfect for carrying those must-have beach items: sunscreen, water, chapstick, sunglasses, etc.
So big deal, a bag made out of a towel that holds a towel and some items... why not just pack a regular backpack? There's a secret...
Ladies and gentlemen, Exhibit A:
That's right. You just saw that happen. The towel is the backpack.
Ok, so you totally want one for all of your kids and your dog and yourself and everyone you know but you can't sew/ don't feel like attempting to make even a single one, forget enough for everyone you know? So now what?!
