You can keep your little ones busy on a rainy stay-in
day by creating an indoor sand-box or sensory box.
All you need is a large plastic dish-pan and a 5lb. (2 kg.) bag of cornmeal, rice, pasta noodles, dried beans, oatmeal, kinetic sand, etc. for sand
.
ADD: plastic cups, spoons, scoops, bowls, measuring cups, funnels, strainers, etc.
Be sure to only fill to 3-4 inches below the top of your container to reduce spills.
The cornmeal, rice, pasta noodles, dried beans, and oatmeal vacuum up quickly and don't scratch the floor.
IDEA: Those Rubbermaid type bins that store under a bed make a nice big table
type size container.
Shopping Suggestions:
🏖️ KINETIC Play Sand
🏖️ Rubbermaid Dish Pan
🏖️ 50 Quart Underbed Buckle Up Box
🏖️ Rice in bulk bags
🏖️ Oatmeal in bulk
🏖️ Dried Beans in bulk
🏖️ Cornmeal in bulk
🏖️ Pasta in bulk

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
