 Have you ever wondered how to easily spread sand onto the icy sidewalk in front of your house or apartment building?  Or wondered what on Earth you could use your spare gallon milk or orange juice container for,  instead of recycling it?

 

Well, here is a handy, long-lasting  sand spreader for you!  All you will need is an empty gallon milk container, 2 ladders, & a pair of scissors!

Propping the ladders carefully along the sides of the milk container, and using a pair of sturdy & sharp scissors, simply cut out a good sized opening around the mouth of the container, above the handle…The handle will come in very handy later on, when you scoop the container full of sand & then walk along, shaking it from side to side & gently letting out a stream of sand!

Until the next snow, this can also be used as a playscape for your children, if they are very tiny like mine!
