Baby swimming pool+ sand toys+ (2) 50lb bags of whole corn = hours of fun for 25 bucks.

Reasons why this is awesome.
1. Pieces of corn are a lot easier to clean than sand if it ends up out of the tub, or in the house.
2. Using out of season toys = free
3. Thrilled toddler who thinks Mommy is The Coolest
