Sand Sifters and More

If you’re lucky enough to have a beach nearby, go prepared with lots of sand toys! Not the kind you buy at the store —  I mean the stuff in your kitchen. Actually, you may want to buy these in the kitchen dept. of the local $1 store, just in case they are too hard to get clean from all the gritty sand.

Here are few ideas. But, have the kids hunt around for more fun-filled “toys”, too.

* Strainer

* Colander

* All-size plastic containers

* Potato masher

* Large wooden spoon

* Large metal spoon with slots

* Spatula

What else do you suggest? You might want to keep them stored in one of those recycle bags to use over and over for KIDFUN at the beach.
