The No Sand Sandbox

June 10, 2008

As I mentioned, it a rainy day. Our girls beg to play outside, even in the rain. I have tried to bring a little outdoor fun inside for them on days like this.
For your own little indoor, no sand sandbox you will need:

• A large plastic storage tub ~ 22″L x 15″W x 12″L with the snap or flip top lids works well.
• Rice, flax seed or dry oats

Fill the tub half way with the rice, flax seed or oats. The oats are the messiest option and the flax seeds are more expensive than the rice, so rice works well for us. Give your kids spoons, measuring cups, etc and let them have fun! When they are finished, simply snap the lid on the container and store it for another day.
