Let's Dig In

Last Sunday was the opening ceremony of the sandpit. Hee Juan ordered the sand and we wait patiently for the it to arrive at 3pm. After the sand was dropped off at the drive way, the 2 daddies (Hee Juan and Liam, our neighbour) had a taste of what coolies feel like. They have to shovel the sand into buckets and transfer it to the sandpit. After awhile, Hee Juan was perspiring for the first time.

The kids stood by eagerly for the sandpit to be filled up, getting ready their sand play toys and standing around trying to help.

Finally the last bucket of sand went in and before any signal was given for the kids to start, they were already busy digging in the sand.

As we bought the washed sand, they were still quite wet and needless to say, the children have sand all over them in no time.

Juan/Chinee, you might want to add pebbles, pine cones etc. to the sandpit (unless matthew has already done so) and a seive. Simple experiment to find out what goes through the seive and why.
