Hi everybody Was wondering what your thoughts were on this and whether this could be an option. Already my budget for the foundation unit is running low and i still have heaps of sand to buy for inside and out. With the normal size bag it takes about 5 bags to fill our outdoor sandpit and as you klnow it doesnt last that long (chn just cant seem to keep it in the sandpit) Anyway, do you think a better option would be to buy builders sand from a proper builders yard for our outdoor area, it works out so much cheaper and then just use the usual play sand for indoors. Would love to hear your views on this one. xxx

Hi everyone, Hope alls going well back at school. Quick question...how do you operate outdoors in the winter? At the moment the chn can access outdoors from 09:30 till 11:00, the door is permanently open to offer so the chn hasve free flow. In the afternoon exactly the same, chn can come in and out as they pleaes. My concern is in the mid winter, when its frezzing, chn will not be able to open the door to access outdoors/indoors as they please like they can now. The door, will be closed obviously to stop the howling winds coming through and to keep the room warm. One thought was to have a button inside/out for the chn to press as and when they want to come in o…
