Playing outside is one of my children’s favorite activities. Cuddlebug has some trucks that he received as gifts and some that were passed down. I also picked up a hand held shovel and rake at Dollar Tree and he has a great time digging in the sand.
What kinds of frugal activities do your children enjoy?

Cuddle Bug just doesn’t look so little any more! It makes me so sad.
Making mud pies used to be my favorite activity when I was little.
Can’t beat that great creative fun!!
This sand is his new favorite spot to play every day. He will play out there for hours. No chance of any grass growing, that’s for sure.
Kellie: Actually, he did get hosed down this week. We had rain for 4 days and he went outside to play. I specified several times that he and his sister were to stay away from the mud. First, he pushed her in the puddle and she had mud up to her thighs and then I saw him running and jumping into the puddle. It’s been very hard to keep the house cleaned this week!
