Materials Required:
Bags of small rocks or gravel (5 bags for a 16-square-foot space)
Shallow planter
Potting soil or mulch
Rake
Construction vehicles or plastic sand toys
Steps Involved:
Preparation: Gather all materials, including small rocks or gravel, a shallow planter, and potting soil or mulch. You may also want to use sand pebbles for a smoother texture.
Placing the Planter: Position the shallow planter in the middle of the construction pit.
Spreading the Rocks: Empty the bags of rocks into the construction pit. Use a rake to spread them evenly, ensuring that the rocks are level with the top of the planter.
Filling the Planter: Fill the shallow planter with potting soil or mulch, creating a designated area for digging. Alternatively, you could fill the planter with water for added play options.
Setting Up: Place construction vehicles or plastic sand toys inside the construction pit for the children to play with.
Playtime: Encourage the children to engage in imaginative play, using the construction vehicles to dig, build, and explore the construction pit.
