Sand- and
water play
Sand and water are among the four elements.
Having the opportunity to play with both of these
in a play space should be a fundamental part
of any child’s education. Playing with sand and
other loose materials promotes the ability to
create and make different shapes. The addition
of water adds a further dimension to this type
of play. Playing with sand and water is a pleasure
enjoyed by young children right up until they
start school and even beyond. A spacious sandpit
should therefore be an essential feature in
any playground. Small tables, platforms with
mini sand lifts, and sand and water chutes all
make this sort of play even more fun. It is important
when planning sand and water play areas
that they are installed in a sheltered location
away from busy thoroughfares. It is also advisable
to position them under the shade of trees or
under a sun awning.
