If you don't already have one, invest in a sandbox for your kids this year. It's a great way to get them out of the house and away from the television plus a sandbox will open up their imaginations in ways that video games, computers and television just can't.
When choosing a sandbox, be sure and get one that can be covered as even a backyard with a tall fence will pose no obstacle to a cat that is looking for a nice new place to call their own litter box and along with the potential for diseases and parasites, your kids will not enjoy what the cat will leave behind to be dug up! Opt for the cover and your sand in the sandbox will stay both clean and dry.
Toys for the sandbox don't have to be much. A bucket and a shovel will keep most kids busy making sand castles and mounds to climb. Burying each other's feet in the sand and making their own desert oasis. Toss in a few tough toys such as bulldozers, dump trucks and other staples of excavation and construction and you'll take the fun in the sandbox to a whole new level.
Guidecraft has a whole line of trucks and cranes that are made out of natural wood and will be great additions to your kids' playtime.
If you want to get your kids outside a little more, make it fun and enjoyable - go for the sandbox!
