Thrifty Thinking: Sandbox Substitute

Do you want to let your kids play in the sand, but you don't want to spend the money on a sandbox? Try one of those flat under-bed storage boxes instead. It's not as big, so your kids will have to sit on the outside, but it still works to do most of the fun. Plus, it's easy to move around if you get one with wheels! This is also a great space-saver.
