Description
The Set of Outdoor Sand Grabber & Drill is an outdoor resource to enrich your EYFS and KS1 outdoor learning environment. Designed for active, hands-on exploration, these durable tools inspire children to dig, drill, scoop and experiment with twisting motions as they investigate sand in new and engaging ways.
Children can operate the sand grabber to grab, collect, transport and release sand, noticing how grip, pressure and movement change the results they get. The sand drill allows children to create holes and tunnels, encouraging early scientific enquiry including force, motion and cause and effect. These tools also strengthen fine and gross motor development as children squeeze, twist and move the equipment.
Designed for outdoor learning, both tools are sturdy, hard-wearing and ideal for frequent use in busy sand areas. They pair perfectly with larger-scale sand play, whether children are building landscapes, digging channels or working collaboratively to move materials around the outdoor classroom.
To extend learning further, combine this set with the Outdoor Sand Resource Collection 3-7yrs, the Set of Outdoor Sand Tools or the Outdoor Small World Resource Collection 3–7yrs to introduce imaginative contexts for construction, storytelling and investigation as they use the tools to create cave and mountains for the dinosaurs and wild animals. Children who enjoy indoor sand and sensory play will relish the increased scale and challenge that outdoor sand resources provide.
Explore the full range of Outdoor Sand Area Resources to enhance your early years or KS1 outdoor classroom, creating an engaging and inspiring environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
