Indoor Sand Box

I have been trying to come up with ideas for some fun activities to do with the kids. Mostly so I can have some new things for the them to do when the new baby arrives. We made this "indoor sand box" yesterday. It's super cheap to make. Got a bin for at Walmart and a bag of dried pinto beans at Costco. The kids had a blast playing in it. They used their shovels and rakes but really liked to run their hands through the beans. We hid a bunch of polished rocks (because they blend in well) and had a contest who could find the most. Next we are going to hide pennies (Marissa's request). But we put it away for awhile to keep it interesting. They were very sad. I told them it would be more fun if they only got to play with it once a week.
Kyle really wanted to sit in it and burry his feet.
