Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

An old tractor tyre makes a fantastic sandpit for eco kids, and is a super easy recycling project.

Step 1: An old tractor tyre from the farm or recycled areas at the local dump.

Step 2: Scrub the tyre well with a scrubbing brush and some soapy water.

Step 4: Once the tyre is in place, dig out the middle some more, go about a foot and a half down to make room for the sand.

Step 5: Fill with sand. You can buy  play pit sand specifically for sandpits from garden centres.

Make a tunnel in your children's play area, from several large tires, paint if desired.

Use several different size tires as part of an obstacle course.
