DIY Sensory Activity: Toddler Sandbox For Under $15

Have you ever heard of The Busy Toddler on Instagram of Facebook? If not, run, don’t walk your fingers over to her account and spends (hours) admiring all the activities she’s come up with for her kids. The educational and sensory activities she shares are impressive, inspiring and motivating all on one site.

DIY Sensory Sandbox:

Today’s DIY sandbox is inspired by her, the hero behind The Busy Toddler. I realize most sandboxes don’t necessarily break the bank running around $50+, but for the sake of containing some sand for Brooks to run his tractors through, $15 was just around the spending budget I was into. 😉

Supplies:

Kiddie Pool: Walmart $5.88 (currently on sale for $1.50!! Check your local store for availability)

Recreational Sand: Walmart $3.23/ bag (two filled up this kiddie pool plenty!)

DIY Sandbox Total = $12.34

Extras (should you want them):

Construction trucks: Walmart Semi-truck set $9.07 and smaller set Amazon already owned but you can find here (set of 5 for $12.00)
