Both our boys like to dig. Other boys throw snowballs when they are in the snow. Ours dig. Other boys build sand castles when they are at the beach. Ours dig. Digging holes, the bigger the better, is a serious occupation. 'Dig' was one of the first words in both their emerging vocabularies.
Which is why I was very keen for us to have a sandpit.
I would have been pretty happy with just about anything, but what we got was the super-deluxe version, designed and built by M's Dad. It sits happily under a tree and is usually occupied from first thing in the morning to sunset, with interruptions for meals, sleep, preschool and other such things.
I really like the sandpit. JMB

At least you'll always know where they are - in a hole; and, if it's still around in 20 years time, which industry they'll go into when they're older (mining).
