YES! Children Love Sandboxes

Beat the Winter Blues

Sometimes chilly winter days can be hard when you have active children.  Your children are yearning for the warmer, drier days when they could play outside until the sun set late in the day.  And you might be yearning for those same days when they could burn off some energy outside!  Unfortunately, while we can definitely help you turn your home into a space that says YES! for the entire family, we can’t improve the weather.  We shared our first suggestion for breaking through the winter doldrums on Monday- have a family indoor beach night!

Sandbox- Instant Summer

Our simplest way to infuse a bit of summer?  A good old sandbox.  We love sandboxes for many reasons.  They keep children entertained for hours.  They are an fantastic way to integrate tactile play into your child’s day and allow them to engage more senses.  They allow children to build, pour, draw, and imagine.

You can make a mini sandbox very easily.  Just buy some sand and pour it in a tub.  Make sure to put your sandbox in a place you can easily clean; we highly suggest on a hard floor (we learn from our mistakes)!

Stay tuned, we have an amazing sandbox for sale on our new website which is coming soon!
