I think that also depends on how likely your visitors are to drop
food into the sandbox. We aren't displaying priceless artifacts so we
aren't as vigilant as we might be about food in our halls. Usually
it's just Goldfish cracker crumbs, but one of our staff people had
the unpleasant experience of finding an old sandwich in our sand play
area. With cooties galore.
