A kindergarten teacher lives here...

The digging box:

When I left teaching and my classroom three years ago, I was expecting baby Walter within two months time.  The idea of having kids big enough to play with the digging box seemed so, so far off that I gave away my bean box and lots of kindergarten learning toys.  Wow, time flies.  Suddenly there are not one, but TWO little boys, digging to their heart's content in the bean box.  It is basically a big mess in the garage and Fritz can hardly resist the temptation to throw beans everywhere.  A fun, tactile learning experience.  Time to dust off my pedagogy books...
