Bean Box for Playing

Take a large, lidded conatiner (the larger the better). Add dry beans and scoops, cups, toys, etc. Kids will literally play for hours. Just don’t put in anything wet, and keep the cat away! (For kids old enough to not eat the beans!)  Store with lid for another day of play. Picture via
