Use for a sandpit

[green hippo]

We have had some outdoor furniture made by the local college. Unfortunately they have made the sandpit too small - they said they would do it on site when I described how big we wanted it. It's a beautifully made thing! It's square with high sides and a floor. It will stand up on its end and would be safe if fixed to the fence. What do you think we should do with it?

Ideas we've thought of:

1. Use for a different material e.g. different sizes of gravel and pebbles

2. Use as a cupboard for Hanging role-play costumes and equipment with tarpaulin at the front to keep dry at night.

3. Put shelves in and use for investigation/exploration equipment.

 

Any other ideas?

We Have decided to order sleepers for our sandpit.

Thanks,

Green Hippo xxx
