This was a really cool activity and kept my kids entertained for awhile.
We did this in our sandpit (a storage bin with sand, that we keep inside for when it is to cold outside) One thing we did was wet our sand some with water, so the kids could make shapes and different things.
Kids Sand play has been used for hundreds of years. In more recent years people have observed the different aspects of this traditional play activity and can see it as a great form of development and education for young children. We have found sand play to have a huge impact on a child’s interaction, coordination, and artistic creation. Sand itself is a fascinating material for a child, it can be made hard or it can be left soft, It can flow or it can be solid, sand itself offers endless possibilities for a child’s imagination.
