Introduction

How can you build a play village?

Do you like to go outside and play in the dirt? How about going to the beach and building in the sand? It is so much fun to play in nature! But what happens when the weather is bad, or an adult can’t take you out to play? Then, you need to get creative and bring nature inside, without making too much of a mess! One great way is to create a sand bin!

Play sand and the newer kinetic (kih NET ik) sand are great materials for molding, squishing, and building! In this lesson, you will create a sand village using materials you find both outside and inside your home. Move on to the next page to learn how!
