Beach Sand Toys:
Making Playing In The Sand More Fun, More Tolerable

What child does NOT have, or need, beach sand toys? Honestly, none that I know, unless they haven't reached that age yet.

Can't you just picture the scene? Mom/Dad walking; their child or children by their side, juggling the beach balls, sand toys, beach chairs, towels, umbrella, blanket and cooler. Familiar scene right?

Really, who takes their child to the beach WITHOUT their beach sand toys? No parent I know, unless they want to go through all that work to then have their child whining that they are bored and wanting to go home. Children love, and need, to be entertained and have toys to play with at all times in order to sustain their attention and keep them happily occupied.

Let's take this a step further... I truly believe EVERY child should experience sand and water play as early and as often as possible to develop their sensory systems properly.

We all know the packing, driving, setting up, packing up, etc. will easily become
an all day affair (not to mention costly with food and parking, and unsafe with the sunburns, big surf and crowds). Oh yeah, let's not forget the fact that you may not even live near any beaches or water

Well, now it is easy to bring the beach to you! Check out children's wooden covered sandboxes and sand and water tables . These are great, safe, fun, convenient, durable, and inexpensive (long term) ways to give children a year round beach experience.  Or, here are some less expensive alternatives if you prefer...

Crabbie Sandbox

Climb into this sandy, crab-shaped play area for hours of outdoor fun. With two big "claw" seats, the Crabby Sandbox is shaped just like a big red crab. The sculptured shell lid protects the sand from weather, debris, or pets. Holds up to 300 pounds of sand. Sand and sand toys sold separately.

Little Tikes Hidden Treasure Sandbox

This incredible sandbox sets the stage for playing pirates, discovering buried treasure and setting sail for lots of exciting sand adventures. Four molded seats make it easy and fun to play in, and treasures and a map molded into the bottom of the sandbox let kids dig to find jewels and coins! The domed lid protects the sand from debris, helps rain water run off, and allows for toy storage underneath.

Ladybug Sandbox

A fun and colorful place for your little one to play in the sand, the Ladybug Sandbox features solid plastic construction. It's compact design allows it to fit easily into smaller play areas. Children love the bright ladybug design. Holds up to 100 pounds of sand. Sand and accessories not included.

Naturally Playful Sandbox

The Naturally Playful Sandbox is an attractive sandbox with a unique design. Featuring outdoor textures and natural colors, this sandbox blends right in to any backyard. Made of sturdy, durable plastic, this sandy play area looks like it's made from real stone, and contains four molded-in "cornerstone" seats. The sunshine-motif lid protects the sand from weather, debris or any backyard critters. Plus, when the kids grow up, parents can even use the Naturally Playful Sandbox as a large planter. Comes fully assembled. Sand and sand toys sold separately.

Now that you have the basics, we need one more thing...beach sand toys and/or sand toys for the sandbox!

Children with tactile defensiveness or Sensory Processing Disorder / Sensory Integration Dysfunction will NEED to have the right kind of beach sand toys to help them tolerate and use sand play effectively. For children with tactile defensiveness and/or high energy levels who need heavy work experiences, the more they dig, move around, push or pull, the more input they will get.

All of these toys encourage tactile input and/or heavy work input through sand play. Your kids will love them! Use these beach sand toys for any home, school, or day care. (The smaller toys are great for sand and water tables too!)

They WILL get a phenomenal amount of use and children will get the sensory experiences they NEED for proper sensory development.

Rolley Sand Digger

Where there's dirt or sand, there's a child itching to get busy. Make the most of a terrific play experience with the unmatched quality of this heavy-duty steel crane made bye Kettler of Germany. The 3-wheeled base rolls freely and spins 360 degrees, while the 2-handled crane digs deep for big results.

Beach Bones

Kids are going to freak over these awesome dinosaur bone molds that let you create skeletal images in the sand. 10 bone molds and mesh bag make this a totally Mesozoic experience.
