Description
Support hands-on, sensory-rich learning in your outdoor environment with the Outdoor Sand Area Collection 2–3yrs. Carefully curated by Early Excellence education specialists, this ready-made set includes a selection of high-quality sand tools, designed to inspire purposeful exploration of sand and other natural materials. Crafted from high-quality, durable materials, these outdoor resources are designed for continuous use within busy, energetic environments.
As children dig, scoop, rake and pour, they strengthen fine and gross motor control, build coordination and begin to explore cause and effect. The rollers support rotation and trajectory schema play, while buckets and shovels promote transporting and filling behaviours.
Children may work side by side to fill buckets, dig trenches or make tracks in the sand, building early communication and social interaction skills through shared attention and parallel play. These collaborative activities also support expressive language as children describe textures, movement and processes during their explorations. For further sensory rich learning, explore the Outdoor Water Play Collection 2–3yrs.
Explore the full range of Outdoor Sand Area Resources to enhance your early years outdoor classroom, creating an engaging and inspiring environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
