Language + Social Skills
Role playing requires kids to engage in story telling as they make up scenarios, and communicate with others what role they are playing. Any new toy also expands a child’s vocabulary – learning new verbs like “push” and “shop”, or nouns like “basket” and “cart”.
Physical + Motor Skills
Pretend play is great for motor skill development as kids use small accessories just like mom and dad do. Gripping a handle, grabbing a toy and then dropping it help develop hand-eye coordination and physical dexterity.
Sensory Exploration
Sand play introduce kids to new textures, temperatures, sights and sounds. Actions like digging engage multiple senses at once, and encourage children to actively use their senses as they explore. With sand, just like water, every movement presents an opportunity to see, hear, and to feel something new.
STEM Learning
Early physics concepts like motion and flowing are present in sandbox play. Sensory toys with slides, spinners and funnels are a great way to teach kids about cause and effect. Incorporate learning into play by letting kids make predictions about what will happen when sand enters a spinner, or a rubber duck is placed on top of a sand castle.
