Bring the dig to your sand box with the Sandbox 10' Square. The borders on the sandbox create a grid that makes for a great place to do "digs" like an archaeologist. Additionally, the inset style of sandbox makes the height of the sides reducing the chance of tripping. Incorporate digging into your lessons by burying objects in the sand for them to find. These types of activities also encourage socialization and team work to solve a problem or find an object. It also provides a very real feeling opportunity for children to role play out a dream job.
Sand play is a chance for children to have a sensory experience. There are very few things that have a similar look, feel, and movement to sand that are safe to play with. When children build with it or dig in it, they are getting the stimulation of the sight, sound, feeling, and smell all at once. Combine this with the cognitive work of doing a grid search for an object, there are a multitude of skills that are being exercised and learned.
For those that are interested in shading your sandbox, be sure to check out the Sun Shelter Sandbox.
