Sandboxes contribute to an unforgettable childhood; one full of creativity and daydreaming. Just think about all the sandcastles you’ve built and how many kingdoms you’ve dreamed up back when you were a toddler. When you think about it, sandboxes are the Game of Thrones of every childhood! But now you are the parent and surely you want your kids to have those memories too, as well as being able to keep them busy enough for you to catch up on the aforementioned TV show! To ensure your kids have the best playtime, here is a roundup of unique DIY sandbox projects!
Grounded Sandbox
This sandbox is firmly fixed into the ground, so there are no worries that the neighbor’s kids might steal it away. Just kidding! In fact, this sandbox might just become the regular playground spot for the kids of the whole street! Modern Parents Messy Kids will provide you with a cute, step-by-step tutorial!

Sandbox Table
A lot of parents think that their kids are sitting down too much, being in school and glued to the TV and all that. Turns out, you can make them a sandbox with a twist – it’s a sandbox table and they have to stand when they use it! You can thank Shanty 2 Chic for this brilliant idea.

Sandbox With Seats
No more kneeling next to the sandbox getting your entire attire covered in sand! Dover Projects has a solution: sandbox with seats all around! Sit comfortably while your child is playing carelessly and if you’re lucky, your dog will approve of it, too!
Bench Sandbox
How cute is this idea by the Perfect Sandbox?! Not only is it cute, it is also practical. Finally, a place to host your little human’s birthday party or other gathering! The benches are a lovely touch, as it will encourage the kids to socialize with each other. Step aside, iPads – the sandboxes are back!
Sandbox On The Wheels
Sometimes things need to be flexible. If you’d like the option of rotating the sandbox and moving it out of the way whenever your feel like it, this might just be the project you’ve been looking for! You will find the details at Nonchalant Mom Blog.
Don’t build castles in the clouds, build them in the sand instead!
