I like it. Small enough for the deck and the lid closes tight so the cats can’t get in there and do their business.

That’s a lovely sandbox and very reasonably priced. Look’s fun!
(The crayon rubbings we did for the unplugged project were done with a set of vehicle stencils and a rainbow crayon)

very good idea, I like it being small to move around.

My kids love the sandbox! Great idea, and I am loving the lid too!

Super great idea. I’m gonna have to do this.

Would you believe that: 1) we have four of these that I tried unsuccessfully to sell on craig’s list because they don’t fit under our new bed and 2) we’re currently househunting and a sand table is on my list of things to buy once we have a yard? Thanks! :)

You rule! The next thing I have ready to post when I get a chance has a pic of my two playing in an under the bed storage box that we use to splash in outside. Works a treat. I love the idea of using one with a lid for the sand to go with it.

Very creative.

Oooooh, good idea!! Hubby was thinking about making our daughter one, but he’s rethinking the construction plans! This will be quick and easy! ;)

It has worked out great for us – hope it does for you, too!

I did this once but used lentils, then we could use it inside during the winter…super fun and the clean-up was easier than sand for an indoor activity. Going to give this a try this summer though! Great idea!!

Lentils indoor would be great!
