Why Play with a Sandbox?

Sensory Exploration

Sand play introduce kids to new textures, temperatures, sights and sounds. Actions like digging engage multiple senses at once, and encourage children to actively use their senses as they explore. With sand, just like water, every movement presents an opportunity to see, hear, and to feel something new.

STEM Learning

Early physics concepts like motion and flowing are present in sandbox play. Sensory toys with slides, spinners and funnels are a great way to teach kids about cause and effect. Incorporate learning into play by letting kids make predictions about what will happen when sand enters a spinner, or a rubber duck is placed on top of a sand castle.

Language + Social Skills

Sensory sandbox toys help kids build important social skills like taking turns and experimenting with role play. This kind of play is also great for widening a child’s vocabulary, as they start using words like “dig” and “bury”.

Physical + Motor Skills

Sand play is a great way to practice physical development. When your child pours sand from a bucket, they practice both physical dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Sensory toys like sandboxes, similar to water tables, also help develop fine motor skills and the pincer grasp as kids practice squirting, stirring and squeezing different accessories while they play.

Play Together!

Buried Treasure: Hide small toys in the sand and have your child dig them up! Make it harder by adding a time limit to see how many items they dig up before the clock runs out.
Sensory Exploration: Instead of sand and water, fill the water table with dried pasta, beans, or rice to create a fun sensory play area to use indoors or out.
Make sharing the clean-up responsibilities fun with your little one. Putting the lid on the sand table or gathering the toys together when playtime is over will help foster good habits, show an example of teamwork, and a bonus in motor skill development.
