This is a great idea for rainy, or yucky snowy days - or even
way too hot to be outdoorsdays.
Unless you have a free source of rocks (we got 4 bins worth for free on Freecycle!) check out your local Dollar store for this one - it may cost you about $5.00 for five mini bags of rocks to fill your storage bin - depending on the size.

Check under your bed for a plastic storage bin, but if not, buy a large under-the-bed type storage bin while you are there. Of course, you can use any size storage bin, but I like the under-the-bed type for this project because the sides are low and the length is long - so lots of playing room!
Any die-hard Bob the Builder Fan will have plenty of little construction vehicles on hand! If not, I am sure you can find some little trucks at the Dollar store or your local dept store!
Your little ones will have a fabulous time shoveling, loading, and unloading in their mini gravel quarry.
Who is going to try this one??
