Spring is just around the corner and I thought I would share with you what has been the best kind of sandbox for my kiddos AND did not cost alot of money.
We baught a plastic kiddie pool for about $8 at Walmart, 3 years ago for our kids, and turned it into a sandbox. We still use it and it has held up well to all kinds of weather.
We filled it with about 4 bags of sand that were pretty cheap from Lowes. It has been so much fun for my kids and we even use it in the winter on the days that it is not so cold outside.
Turning a kiddie pool into a sandbox was cheaper than buying one of those green turtle sandboxes in the toy departent. It was worked out perfectly and we love it.
*On a side note it is easy to clean. We went on vacation a couple of years ago and forgot to put the cover on it. (tutorial on making the waterproof cover to come) The neighborhood cats had a blast with it as a litter box. It was super easy for my husband to dump the sand and for me to clean and disinfect it with soap and bleach. (and yes, we put brand new sand in it:)
