Woodland Wooden Hexagonal Sandpit

Advantages: Can be filled with anything (doesn't have to be sand)
Disadvantages: Not easy to store

...My parents bought the sandpit for my son for his second birthday, and at £25 costs probably average for a sandpit. It comes with accessories (sieve, bucket, spade, etc), so it doesn't have to be sand that is used in it - water can be used instead. The sandpit had to be built up out of the box and the legs are detachable - which makes it easier if you are storing it away in a garage in winter. It is blue and there are plugs in the base of it, which makes it easier for cleaning out. There is a green cover, which is handy and stops the sand getting wet when it's raining, although it is quite a tight cover to get on. Also, when it has been raining, there is usually a puddle of water on the cover so you have to try and lift the sandpit up first to get rid of the water so that it doesn't end up in the sand when you take it off...

..., even the toilet with its lid and bowl. My personal favourite is the office, with a computer, monitor, keyboard and even a printer, along with the desk and swivel chair. But my girls think the playground equipment is the best, with the see-saw and slide, not to mention the sandpit with it sandpaper sand. ~~~Moving in~~~ Now that we've sorted the furniture out, it's time to move our family in. ELC have two different families, one white and one ethnic, we got some people with our furniture packs but that was a special offer. Each family set includes, a Mum, Dad, Granddad, Grandma, Boy and Girl. They have wooden heads, hands and feet, and posable arms and legs. The whole family are nicely dressed, and their painted features and woollen hair gives them something of an old fashioned look. But we mustn't forget their pets, there's even... Read review
