Plus gravel is: —naturally draining —cleaner than sand (no worries of it being a neighborhood litter box) —less messy than sand! I do have to watch the itty bitty babies to make sure they don’t eat it, but that comes with just about everything we play with 😅 Next time you are adding a sand box to your kids’ wish list, think about filling with with gravel instead! #outdoorplay #sandbox #kidsoutside #outside #getoutside #backyardgoals #playforts #getoutside | Frecklefaced Adventures | Jon Mero & LÒNIS · Feels This Good
