Ikea Shovels

We bought these sandbox shovels at Ikea last spring and they are great.  I love how long the handles are.  I guess the longer the handle the more leverage you get.  Also, they are super sturdy.  They're made of plastic so I suppose you could break one but these have lasted longer than any other sandbox toy we've ever had.



Okay, it's January.  The kids haven't played in a sandbox for months.  Guess what?  Sandbox toys are great in the snow, too.  I wish I had thought of this years ago.  The weight of the snow and the freezing ice have not been kind to some of the buckets but these Ikea shovels have held up beautifully.
