this truck is so cool! I recently got it for my nephew for his 4th birthday and he went nutty over it!!!!!!!!!!! stop by Area Kids or Area Play and pick one up today!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!!
