Sand Pit Sand Washed 20kg Bag
Sand play promotes physical development. Children develop their large muscle skills as they dig, pour, sift, scoop, and clean up spills with brush and dustpan. Eye-hand coordination and small muscle control improve as children learn to manipulate sand accessories. Sand play also promotes social skills.
Benefits of Sand Play:
- Development of the imagination: "Sand is a toy and the less a toy does, the more a child will learn. There are hours of fun and learning to be explored with sand as it promotes and encourages creativity and imaginative play, sensory and language skills,”
- Emotional Development: "It is a valuable tool for personal and emotional development. Playing with free-flowing sand poses no restrictions, as they can do whatever they want with it. This way, children get an opportunity to communicate non-verbally. Sand play also relaxes and calms down children who are angry, disturbed or traumatised."
- Cognitive Development: Learning to write in the sand or making shapes and patterns on it teaches children important concepts of language & problem solving, and aids in cognitive development. Many children may initially find it restricting to write in a book and to hold a pencil or crayon, but find it easier to write and draw patterns on the sand, as a part of play.
- Build Immunity: Researchers point out that children who go outdoors to play in the sand or grass, and with twigs are healthier than those raised in a sanitised, indoor environment. A little dirt will help your child’s immunity and make her less vulnerable to illness.
