My latest Area Kids obsession has to be the bento box inspired Laptop Lunches, the perfect back to school lunch time accessory!
Laptop Lunches are American-style bento boxes designed to help families pack nutritious, eco-friendly lunches for school, work, and travel. The Laptop Lunch sustainable lunch boxes–which come with a book of healthy lunch ideas and lunchmaking tips and recipes–are reusable, recyclable, and dishwasher safe. Their lunchboxes, recently featured in Shape, Self, and Health Magazines, contain NO phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), or lead.

In this episode of Area Kids Fun Facts we will be exploring the fun facts of sand with your host Chocolate Thunder!
Did you know that this Green Toys Sand play set holds 3,500,000,000 grains of sand!?

And how do I know that…well how else would I spend my days at the beach!
Have you noticed a little something extra in that beach time snack?The typical peanut butter and jelly sandwich eaten on the beach contains over 7,000 grains of sand!
- Sand is shell and rock that have been worn down by nature into tiny grains (that love to stick to your toes)!
- The sand on the coast of Namibia (in southwest Africa) is definitely worth sifting. It contains diamonds!
- Certain beaches and sand dunes create mysterious sounds that scientists still don’t completely understand. They sing, whistle, boom, bark, and even sound like a frog!
- The rocks, pebbles, and sand on the beach are sorted by the waves. They vary in size from large pebbles down to very small ones, and finally to sand, which is almost pure quartz.
Sand has soooo many uses that if I tried to name them all I’d run out of breath!
Here’s a list of just a few:
Bricks, Glass, Paint, Concrete, railroards and in agriculture! That’s right, you wouldn’t be eating that sand-filled PB and J to begin with if it wasn’t for sand! Sandy soil is used to help grow fruits vegetables and legumes like peaches and peanuts!!!
But perhaps my favorite use for sand is that of entertainment!!! Just check out the Westminster Art In Motion Sandscapes for hours of sand filled entertainment!!!!

This has been another Area Kids Fun Fact episode, drop by next week and see what other marvels Chocolate Thunder will explore!
