We were dockmates with a young sailing family with 3 girls - aged 4 & up. They were apparently very well equipped by their parents with all sorts of toys to amuse themselves with.
However, when idle at dock, their favorite diversion was harvesting critters with an inexpensive fine mesh net with a long handle and a plastic bucket. They spent hours snagging small fish and crabs that dwelled within the sea growth clinging to the PVC floats, supporting the marina's finger piers. It was educational for them to hear the various comments passers-by made as they inspected the kid's daily catch, which was displayed in buckets beside their boat.
I thought it was great that they would rather do this, than watch DVDs or play video games in the boat's cabin.
