Interactive sandbox sessions can support children's cognitive and emotional development. Children may relax, calm down and enjoy engaging, positive experiences during these activities.
In 2021 Briolight developed new modes for its interactive projection sandbox: Ecology, Colouring, Cities, Underwater World, Mars, the Moon, Volcano and more. These activities were designed to support children with special educational needs and help preschoolers explore their abilities and interests.
The Briolight augmented-reality sandbox combines physical sand with projected images, making education more engaging and hands-on.
Benefits of an interactive sandbox
- Preparing preschoolers for learning and encouraging creativity and cognitive development.
- Creating opportunities for relaxation and reducing stress, emotional tension and excessive activity.
- Providing an activity setting in which qualified specialists can address fears, traumatic experiences and family or other conflicts.
- Developing communication, teamwork and social participation among children with special educational needs.
- Engaging three sensory channels: hearing, touch and sight.
- Practising visual memory, concentration and attention.
- Helping children with special educational needs explore their surroundings.
- Supporting activities involving memory, attention, perception, thinking, speech, spatial recognition and motor planning.
How to use the interactive sandbox
The sandbox measures the height of the sand. When a child digs a hole, the projected colour turns blue; when the surface is flattened to make a meadow, it becomes green. Other modes let children search for treasures, experience a city environment with sound, or explore the Moon and Mars.
Games and effects can be grouped into several categories:
Creative: building imaginary worlds, drawing and expressing feelings and mood through imagery.
Developmental: exercises in thinking, memory, attention, school subjects and preschool preparation.
Relaxation: environments that psychologists or teachers can use for activities aimed at reducing tension, anxiety or restlessness.
Motor skills: games encouraging fine motor movements and practising constructive patterns of behaviour.
Interactive Briolight sandbox activities help psychologists, teachers and other specialists engage children. They can be incorporated into preparation for reading, writing, mathematics and other subjects.
