Playing in the Rice Box

Many children have the experience of playing in a sand box when they are little.  Lynley loves to play in the sandbox and one day, God willing, when we have our own yard, we would love to give her one.  Since going to the park isn't something that we can do everyday, all the time, we decided to improvise a little.  At her Mother's Morning Out program and at some play places we go to, they have rice tables that are similar to playing with sand.  Yesterday, I bought Lynley a fun bucket with lots of toys for the beach/sandbox and she was so ecstatic to play with them.  So, we decided to buy a big ole bag of rice and make her a small rice box in the house.   It is quite messy and we only play in the kitchen.  We have upgraded since last night from a towel to a sheet but the love manages to get rice on the kitchen floor anyway.  She is LOVING playing with it!!!  The joys of childhood....
