Perhaps you are heading to a tropical destination for your family vacation – fancy trying some water sports to keep you fit and healthy? Ask your child to imagine having their very own designer surfboard! What would they put on it? A colorful sunset, a geometric design, spots, stripes, their favorite band? Allow their imagination to run wild as they design their own surfboard!

What you will need:

Directions:
