DIY Dirt Box for Kids

I'm sure if your reading this you have heard of sand boxes for kids, but have you heard of dirt boxes? 

In years past I usually have planter boxes for vegetables, this past year (2019) for some reason cucumbers were the only plant that actually produced anything. Hello lots of pickles!!!

We are currently in the process of adding a deck onto the back of our house which means rearranging our back yard and loosing some space in the yard. Since we are loosing some yard space that meant instead of two planter boxes there would only be enough room for one. One day while we were working in the yard my kids started playing in the dirt that was in the planter box for hours with only small gardening shovels. That is when the idea was born!!!

Instead of gardening this year I would give the kids a Dirt Box. I wanted to get a few vehicles that they could have out there in the dirt, but didn't want to spend much since I knew they would get dirty and be outside. Since I am a thrifter I knew just the place to go! Twenty Dollars later and alot of vehicles the Dirt Box was ready!

They have enjoyed it so much and I see lots of playing with it in their future!!
