She's playing on a fully functional mechanical toy digger in a giant sandpit. It has a fully functional bucket that actually digs into and scoops up the sand. It also rotates so you can do proper excavations! Huge fun
The sandpit has several of them and in my opinion, after tall, steep tube slides, they're among the best playpark toys ever
Ah yes I know those, great aren't they!
Have you had a go too Jim?

AI Overview
The tool in the image is a 1mm Thick Lock Gap Card, a specialized measuring tool primarily used to check the clearance between a door and its frame.
Primary Purpose
This tool is essential for safety inspections, particularly for fire doors.
Safety Compliance:
It verifies that the gap between the door and frame meets regulatory standards (typically 2–4mm for fire doors).
Smoke Prevention:
Maintaining the correct gap ensures the door can open smoothly while preventing smoke from leaking through in the event of a fire.
