Sandpit
Cognitive
sand play trains the sense of touch and helps children to understand the characteristics of different materials and their uses.
This appealing Sand Box With Lids invites children to play for long periods of time. Thanks to the two lids, the sand box can be covered and protected. The lids also function as play tables and seats for parents or carers. Carers have seats, and more parents can be seated facing the sandbox to observe. This is well-known to facilitate longer stays in the playground. The lids also create a space for the children where they can store toys or create their home, their shop, their workshop etc. Sand invites deep play. The changeable character of sand from when dry to when wet fascinates children. It additionally trains their tactile sense and understanding of material character and nature phenomena. These are important life skills that help the child understand their surrounding world. In short, sand play helps to shape motor skills and cognition.
Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child 'want' or developmentally 'need' to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
