Sand Trays

This is a photo of one of my new sand trays. Fortunate to have a patient and handy husband, he also built me one a few years back that I no longer have access too.. but its a beauty.

This one is a tad different, the inside is painted blue (for sky and water) and he made a leg stand to hold the tray which it simply lifts out of. The legs have casters so I can roll it around... which I do. When you combine that with a pedestal chair with wheels you can get in and around the sand so much better, spin the tray, spin the chair!

I like the legs rustic looking.. I plan to add a small shelf on the bottom later. This tray is smaller than the traditional tray. I need to keep my tools very portable as I sublet space whenever possible. My other tray is full size, and very difficult to bring around. I also use real sand now, the moonsand (which I have a recipe for) sometimes seems too odd, but it molds really well and is fun to play with ... however.. real sand always feels great!
