Do you let your baby play in the sand pit? I believe they are very unhygienic.

As much as we would like to protect our kids from unwanted germs and bacteria. It it actually okay for the kids to play around sand pits. It is a great sensory play, helps them to ignite the curiosity of their senses. You may even find that your kid is scared about sand(due to the feelings they feel upon touching the sand) Always educate kids how to clean up and wash up after playing in a sand pit. From there, the kids will know that whenever they are playing outdoor. Personal hygiene is very important!
