Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Cornmeal has such a nice texture. When I was looking for something to be an indoor sand box I knew cornmeal would work perfectly. I first tried a cake pan and had to pull out a large baking sheet. Grayson needed much more digging room than the cake pan could offer!
Step 2
We filled the baking sheet with cornmeal and added the dinosaurs and a few cookie cutters to make fun prints. He loved every minute of this and my five-year old eventually joined in too.
Final result!
When we were all finished I saved the cornmeal for some more play another day and pulled out the vacuum for a quick clean up. Very easy!
