Sand Trays....

I have a new mission today: figuring out how to make another sand tray!

My last sand tray lasted a few months, which isn't too bad... but I had to throw it out cuz it got really gross. I think it was my fault for using a cardboard box and putting water in it.

I'm trying to find a different type of sand other than what I used last time, as the last stuff was quite dusty and I had to water it down all the time (okay, so I also just like playing with water and sand...). But the only places I can find good sand sell it in 50 pound bags, which is a bit obsessive.

I think I also I need to have like a plastic container this time... although I don't want it to look ugly... and I don't really want it to be see-thru... I'd love a wood one, to make it look more like a 'real' sand tray. But how do you get a wood box/tray that's waterproof that you can put sand in?

And no, I can't just buy a real sand tray cuz 1) part of the fun is in making it and 2) check out how much those things cost- play therapy supplies are EXPENSIVE!!!

*sniffles* I miss my sand tray... I have a need to express myself right now, and I can't without it....
