For young children, between the ages of 2 to 6, using the lawn for playtime isn’t going to provide much entertainment for them. Even so, it is very important that you try to reinforce good habits, like playing outside, with your children, so creating an area in your garden for them to enjoy fully is essential. A sandbox is something many people look back on fondly, with memories of spending hours outside playing in the sand, digging, creating shapes in the sand, and burying themselves in the box. Not only will this provide them with entertainment outside, but it will also give them an area to express their own creativity.
Installing a sandbox in your garden is actually easier than many would expect. All you need to do is dig a hole, lay some waterproof materials down (like plastic sheets), and build a short wooden barrier around the outside. Once all of this is done, you just need to add a lot of sand, and you will have a great play area for young children.
