Rice box

Today was the day I introduced the rice box. The idea came from a couple friends and my moms group at church. A large storage box + a 25 lb. bag of rice from Sam's Club + misc. small toys = a fun indoor sandbox. Emily was super excited. Of course, the first rule was that the rice stays in the box or the lid goes back on. Emily lasted about 15 minutes. That would be why the rice box will be kept downstairs on a hard floor that can be easily swept and there is an extra 10 lb. bag of rice for the inevitable refill. :o)

Our basement is slowly but surely turning into a viable play area. There is still a lot I'd like to do/organize, but for now Emily loves pedaling her tricycle and being pushed around in her Cozy Coupe in the wide open spaces. And now the rice box is downstairs. :o)
