The interactive sandbox is a playful environment where children can shape landscapes and search for artefacts and treasures. It is also an opportunity to learn, interact with other children and enjoy calming sensory play.
Learning through play
Children can explore basic geography by building models of mountains and plains, lakes and seas, islands and continents. Sand height changes the projected colours, making different landscapes visible.
The equipment includes toy animals – domestic, wild and marine species – so specialists can invent many learning activities. One example is “Who lives where?”. Children place animals in appropriate habitats: land or water, plains or mountains, meadows or deserts.
The reverse task is also possible. Give a child an animal and ask them to create its habitat. They might make a sea for a dolphin, a river for a crayfish, a desert for an ostrich or a green meadow for a cow.
These activities enable children to initiate and complete their own projects, exercise imagination and practise decision-making. Positive experiences and encouragement can build motivation, including for children with cerebral palsy or other motor challenges. Such activities do not constitute a medical treatment or guarantee recovery.
