Using the tape, mark a trail from the items to the beach bag.
Place the chair, step stool, and pillows (covered with the blanket) along the trail you marked.
Ask the child to transfer one item at a time and place it in the beach bag, following the trail, by crawling under the chair, walking up and down the step-stool (you can also put more than one and have the child go up and down several times), and walking on the blanket covered pillows.
