Samuel calls this "scooping" and will tell us multiple times each day "I want to scoop!" It's a little bit of a messy project, as much as we try to keep the rice in the container, but he has fun. Here he is scooping away:

Indoor Sandbox
The weather has been so nuts here lately - one day we have temperatures in the teens with snow, the next day it's 45 and thunderstorming. Every time it's warm enough for the snow to melt, Samuel sees the sandbox out back and wants to play in it. As a compromise, we set up this indoor sandbox for him. I filled a big rubbermaid container with 20 pounds of rice. Then we added some measuring cups, dump trucks, and some random other things we had (those things with the feet are actually to bake cupcakes with.)

what a great idea!!!!
This is an excellent idea! We used to have rice boxes at day care for rainy days with measuring cups and matchbox cars. The next best thing was noodle necklaces (ziti dyed with food coloring strung on yarn), and cereal necklaces (that was good to do during field trip travel). Looks like he had a blast!
