When the weather turns hot and the kids are out of school some days you are left unsure how to entertain them. One tried and true method around our house is Treasures in the Sand. It is a version of a game I played as a child.? It is very simple to play, you take a small child-sized pool, fill it up with sand and then put any sort of small treasures in it.
My kids love the archeologist version of it the best.? I bury pieces of pottery and other such toy items (sometimes dinosaurs) and then they hunt for them. They spend time cataloging each item,discussing it, and sorts of things. Since we live in Georgia and it gets pretty hot, they say it?s like being in Egypt.? Use your imagination and just go wild with it, although a word of caution; I put a screen and tarp over the sand to keep any creepy crawly things out and it allows us to use the sand all summer long.? When all of nieces and nephews are here we throw pennies in and they race to see who can find the most.
