Classes with interactive sandbox Briolight
What is the interactive sandbox?
The interactive sandbox Briolight is a modern tool for psychologists and defectologists, which is used as part of the correction and rehabilitation process, or for full-fledged sand therapy. The projection sandbox becomes for the child a reduced model of the surrounding world, in which the child can immerse everything that worries him. The use of sand therapy has a number of advantages:
- Develops fine motor skills
- Stabilizes the psychological state
- Improves coordination of movement
- Improves attention and memory
- Relieves stress
- Develops sensory perception
- Promotes speech development
In addition, the development of fine motor skills with the help of sand stimulates the brain and emotional development, which in in turn, it has a positive effect not only for children with disabilities, but also for healthy children. And according to the results of independent evaluations, the use of an interactive sandbox directly affects the reduction of anxiety levels and an increase in self-esteem in children.
What games are there in the interactive sandbox?
To answer this question, first we recommend that you read our article 10 games with an interactive sandbox .
Briolight Interactive Sandbox includes universal games (which are present on all our platforms) and special ones (which are created specifically for the interactive sandbox).
Universal games (in most cases) include tests, logic tasks, studying subjects by choosing the correct answer, touching the desired image in the sand with your hand. They are used in the correction process as a way to learn something new, reinforce skills and get interested in the learning process.
Special games work by assessing the situation built on the sand by the child. For example, the “Build a City” effect does not place houses on mountains or bodies of water. Therefore, based on this information, the child decides for himself where to place the buildings, how his city will look and what history he will have. These effects promote creative self-expression, healthy self-esteem, hidden potential and self-confidence.

Organization of a lesson using an interactive sandbox
To organize a lesson using an interactive sandbox Briolight, our recommendations will help you:
- No criticism. When using such a tool, it is important to create a safe area for the child in which he will feel comfortable and not be afraid to implement all his ideas that will not be evaluated.
- Get creative. A story that can be developed throughout the session will help develop imagination and make the atmosphere more relaxed. A story about fairy-tale characters, prehistory, submission of an assignment in the form of a verse. This will help not only to attract the attention of children, but also to connect them to the active completion of tasks.
- Optimal complexity. In order not to discourage the desire to study and at the same time not to waste time, playing in the sand, you need to select the optimal difficulty of the task. The universal effects of Briolight have three levels of difficulty (easy, normal and hard), in addition, you can influence the difficulty yourself using the settings. By choosing the correct difficulty of the task, you can effectively develop motor planning, which contributes to harmonious development.
- Visualization of the material. Interacting with sand and forming letters, shapes, continents, the child learns better. Therefore, becoming a child not a teacher, but a friend, you can conduct effective classes and at the same time interesting for the child.
- Fighting fears. Fears in preschool age are a common occurrence that can lead a child to a severe nervous state. Sand therapy is actively used in order to reproduce and solve conflict life situations, to simulate sand space, creating a picture that will help diagnose and overcome fears in a child.
