| | | |  | |  | | | | | indoor Sandbox I suggest making an indoor sandbox by filling up a cardboard box or plastic baby bathtub with puffed wheat or rice cereal or uncooked rice. Here are some alternatives that may be purchased fairly inexpensively in bulk. They provide an interesting sensory experience for toddlers.
water softener salt shredded paper
birdseed cedar shavings
dried beans deer corn
oatmeal foam packing peanuts
cornmeal potting soil (if you’re brave!)
Children enjoy playing in the sandbox with cups, spoons, bowls, buckets, scoops, shovels, cars, and other toys and containers. A funnel and scoop that can be used to fill an empty plastic soda bottle with sandbox material will also be a hit. An old sheet, shower curtain, or plastic tablecloth placed under the sandbox makes cleanup a little easier.
