Children really get a lot of feedback from things like manipulating sand and other kinds of materials through their little hands. Of course mine are not little, but they still love playing with sand. I am also going to borrow a little of the sand and put it in a jar with some sea shells. For some reason, sand and sea shells make me very happy!

We do something similar at our house. Rather than a dishpan, we put play sand into one of those long skinny tote-boxes. We use this as our "indoor sandbox", especially in the winter months. The one advantage of using a tote container is that it comes with a lid. (Having a lid is helpful in a house with cats. You don't want your cats using the toy sandbox as a litter box!)

Sand and seashells makes me happy too! Hope the kids have a blast! Have a great summer too!
