Sand Play

It always amazes me just how long my boys spend playing in their sandpit.
It is underneath their cubby house so it stays nice and shady in summer and relatively dry in winter so it gets used almost every day.
Junior loves to create sandcastles, race tracks, rivers (he is very keen on introducing vegetation and water but gets disappointed that the water disappears so quickly) and mountains.
Bub just loves to dig, dig, dig ... and dig some more. What have your kids been playing with this week? “Come over and play at the Childhood 101 We Play link up”

  5. Your sandpit looks amazing! We recently just had an outbreak of furry mould in our enclosed sandpit after discovering Miss Mimi had been hoarding gum nuts in there!

  8. Your sandpit looks lovely. Sand is so versatile, I think that's part of the appeal. The play can vary so much depending on the play materials provided
