SANDBOX
A sand box is a nice addition to your backyard. Just remember to have a lid for it otherwise neighborhood cats will use it as a litter box. As well, it will help keep the rain out of it.

PARK
If you do not have a backyard, try your park. There are still parks that use sand instead of rock. Just be cautious of what may be in the sand.

BEACH
Take a drive to a beach and have a day in the sun!!

INDOOR SAND
You can purchase items such as "Moon Sand" or "Aqua Sand" from toy sections in retail stores. The moon sand is like sand but has the consistency of damp sand. It is interesting but very messy. Aqua Sand is also interesting as it comes with a little aquarium that children decorate with this sand. The sand does not get wet and makes funky sculptures in the water.

In Kindergarten classes, they have a sand box set up for the students. If you have the room for it, you can set one up.

Where to get sand toys:
The cheapest is a dollar store of sorts. Walmart would be the next place to shop. OR Use items from your kitchen such as measuring cups or other plastic items.
