What's a "Dig It" Tray?

A "Dig It" tray involves filling a tuff tray with sand, pebbles, and miniature construction vehicles. It’s a simple setup that invites both fun and learning. Dads and kids can dig, build, and explore, simulating a mini construction site right in their living room or backyard.

Why Choose a "Dig It" Tray?

  • Encourages Cooperative Play: Working together on a "Dig It" tray helps strengthen bonds. It’s teamwork in the most playful form!
  • Sparks Creativity: From building sandcastles to excavating sites for tiny toy foundations, the possibilities for imaginative play are endless.
  • Teaches Valuable Skills: Kids learn about basic physics like cause and effect (what happens when you dig a hole or build a mound), improve their fine motor skills, and develop planning and problem-solving abilities.
  • It's Just Plain Fun: There's something inherently satisfying about digging in the sand, no matter your age!

Setting Up Your "Dig It" Tray

Creating your "Dig It" tray is part of the fun! Here’s how you can get started:

  1. Find a Tuff Tray: These can be purchased online or from toy stores. They’re great because they contain the mess and can be used for countless other activities.
  2. Fill It Up: Add sand to cover the tray and scatter some pebbles for extra texture.
  3. Add Construction Toys: Think miniature bulldozers, excavators, and dump trucks. You can also add small shovels and buckets.
  4. Decorate: Throw in some flags or small cones to make it more authentic, or even bury "treasure" for the kids to find as they dig.

Making the Most of It

  • Plan a Project: Start with a fun challenge, like who can build the tallest sand tower or the longest road.
  • Take Turns: Teach turn-taking by having dad and kids direct the construction play in turns, adding elements they think are cool.
  • Capture the Fun: Don’t forget to take lots of pictures. These playful moments make for the best Father’s Day memories.
