Nursery World - With the grain

Sand as a play medium is often seen as almost more trouble than it's worth, but if handled correctly and used with interesting equipment it is ideal for developing fun and constructive play Sandpits

Sandpits

You may not have the space or resources to construct a permanent sand pit in your playground but you can still provide an outdoor sand play area.

Kettler's Vario Modular Sandbox can be adjusted and extended to ring the changes in different sessions.The box comes with either four or six sides that link together, using large plastic bolts. Each side of the box comes in either bright yellow, blue, green or red and measures 120cm and the height is 28cm, so you can form a square, a hexagon or become really creative in the shapes that you build. A four-sided set is priced 79.97 and additional sets, consisting of two side parts and two attachment bolts is priced 39.95. Sandbox Covers are also available, priced 10.95 to cover a four-sided box and 15.95 to cover six sides.
