Tackle it Tuesday – Sandbox

Last month we, well mostly my husband, made our little girl a sandbox. Well technically it’s more like a pit. After debating different ideas we finally decided on one and to dig down a few inches to keep the sand from blowing away. Here is the the ‘beach’ before -

We had placed some sand in this area that was naturally sandy. My little one started calling it the ‘beach.’ Here is the finished sandbox -

She loves it and is having a great time playing it in. We can use a little more sand but other than that we are very pleased with it.

    It’s lovely. That would be a great idea for some of the more sandy locations in our back yard, if only I could keep the neighborhood cats away! It’s hard enough keeping them out of the garden.
