When it comes to outdoor play time, younger children and toddlers find few things more fun than sand and water. This is important to remember when setting up a playground for your day-care facility, park, school, or other location where commercial recreational equipment is needed. Sand and water play areas, in addition to traditional playground equipment such as swings, playground slides, and monkey bars, are a great way to attract families with children of all ages. The sand and water playground equipment that we sell at AAA State of Play is an affordable option that will add a new dimension to your play area. Products come in a range of styles and vibrant colors to complement and complete your playground.
Several options can be used to introduce sand, water, or both to your playground. Each of these options is durable enough to survive constant use and made of non-toxic materials that are safe for children. Playgrounds that already have a sandbox may consider the addition of a water play table or water panel. The best option for most playgrounds is the addition of a water/sand play table. Often, these tables feature one or more bowls or basins that can be filled with either water or sand. This is a perfect solution that allows multiple children to play at the same time. Before deciding on a sand/water play table to buy, verify the recommended age group to confirm that it is appropriate for the children who will most often use it. Some may be best for older kids, while others may be ideally suited and safer for children of a younger age.
The addition of a sand and water play table will make your playground a hot spot for parents and their children for several reasons. It is an activity that engages the senses, as children can sink their fingers into and manipulate sand or splash their hands and toys in a basin of water. This type of sensory play is especially beneficial to children with autism or sensory disorders. In general, as kids play in and mix sand and water, they are benefiting in numerous ways, which include learning valuable lessons that will help them in school. Sand and water play equipment introduces children to principles that will help them to develop problem-solving skills and aid them with basic math and science. It improves fine motor skills and helps with eye-hand coordination. Because most playground sand and water equipment has space for more than one child to play at a time, the activity also encourages children to socialize and play together. Along with the social, physical, and educational benefits, a sand and water panel or table also encourages creativity.
