DIY Sandbox...

I'm posting this on thursday at T&T... great idea thanks to Brit P. --

A genius and very creative friend turned me on to this creation... No itty bitty sand grains, no sand in clothes, shoes or hair, no sand mess! But just as fun!!!



DIY - what to buy:
1. large tupperware box
2. 10 bags of dried split peas
3. shovels, buckets, water bottles, etc.

Added bonus: Quick and easy clean-up... put the lid on the box, store it for next time!
