A kids sand box will keep the children amused for hours, and is far better than a hole in the ground full of sand in the back yard. A well positioned and planned sand box becomes the ideal place for children to enjoy time outside. There are many things to consider before a sand box can be purchased, to ensure that it is perfect. Having one that is too large will become a hindrance, one that is too small will be pointless, and one that cannot be stored will become a mess.
With so many different considerations it is no wonder that people spend a great deal of time ensuring that they get it right. The size of the kids sand box is the biggest decision to make, deciding how many children will need to use it at any one time. If only a few are expected to enjoy the it, it can be quite small. However, if it is too small then the children will fight over the area inside. It should also not be so large that the back garden becomes a beach, with no lawn area at all. Remember that it will need an area to play on around it as well.
Once the size of the sand box has been established, it will need filling. It will take more sand then anticipated to fill it no matter how small it is. This will need to be included in the overall budget. Sand is also very heavy so it will need to be carried and emptied by someone strong and capable. The sand needs to be bought from a reputable supplier, and be correct play sand that has been sterilized. This type of sand is far softer and cleaner than other varieties, and ideal for children to play in.
Although building the sand box is a lovely idea, it can become a project that gets out of hand. Therefore purchasing one is far easier and often cheaper. They come in several different materials, and although wood looks great plastic is becoming the material of choice. Garden plastic is durable, tough and easy to clean it also does not rot. This enables it to be left outside in the winter months. Often the design of the kids sand box will be in one complete unit. They will come with a lid or cover, enabling them to be covered when not in use. This is not only great for the winter months but also when going on vacation, or even overnight.
Matching the box to the existing garden furniture and play equipment can keep the garden looking tidy. If a wooden kids box is really wanted to ensure they fit in to the garden, there are plastic ones that look like wood available. There are also umbrellas and stands that come with the sand box; these ensure that the box is not in direct sunlight. Once children begin to play in the sand they will often be outside for hours. On a bright sunny day, this can cause issues, and covering them is a great idea. No matter what design of kids sand box is bought, it will give hours of entertainment and fun.
