A few years back we were at a friends birthday party when we found it. The perfect thing to keep the kids contained in the backyard. When you live in the country, among the land of tractors, you worry about your kids getting run over. It is actually probably one of my worst fears about living on a farm.
But, even if you don't live on a farm, there are times that you need to be outside, cutting grass and the kids want to be also. You don't want them to ride on the mower with you or just be randomly playing where they could walk off. So, I bring you...
The kid sand cage.
It's large. It has shade. It has lot of sand.
It has fencing all the way around to keep the kids in and cats/varmint's poop out.
It can even be padlocked. However, you have to remember to put a lock on it.
Because when someone wants out.
There is way.
They will figure out how to sneak away.
Because the four year old can open the latch and escape.

It also solves that other problem of the sandbox in the country-- random animals using it as a litter box. Great idea for keeping the sand--and the kids--safe.

We need a sand cage at our house! I'm putting that on the Spring to do list...and not my to do list.
Growing up the farm cats ALWAYS used our sand box as their litter box so I think it's so gross and I haven't gotten one for the girls yet! Great idea.

Great idea! We've always used pea gravel b/c I'm not a big fan of sand in the clothes, hair, shoes, etc. and then in my house!!! BUT this does look like a summer of fun right here! Might have to think about it...
Kelly
That looks like so much fun! I want one for our backyard, even if we don't live on a farm.

What a great idea to keep the kids safe!! Our youngest has started wondering down to the barn on his own and I don't approve one bit. Might have to get hubby on this ASAP.
