There are so many interesting things to put in a sand box. Why sand? This week we used bird seed again. The children love it. It has such a neat feeling as it runs through your fingers. We added plastic bugs, magnifying glasses, tweezers and a book about bugs. Notes pads and pencils would have also been a great thing to add to our bird seed box.
