Lucy's Rice Box

Instead of a sand box, for indoors! I got the idea here (she has a ton of other wonderful ideas for toddlers too). Oh my goodness did Lucy have fun! It held her attention for almost two hours, I've never seen anything hold her attention that long!

There was rice all over the kitchen floor when she was done. Some was suitable for putting back in the box, some had to be thrown away. There's still a ton left though!

I basically just poured a bunch of white rice into a big tupperware with a lid, put scoops and spoons in it and let her go to town! When she was done I just put the scoops in and put the lid back on and put it away for next time. I read that you can try this with beans or birdseed as well. The rice was really nice and easy to clean up. Doesn't stick to anything and fell right off Lucy. This was a great activity for a day with weird weather like today.

She was very happy about her rice box!
