A Sand Pit at an event is a contained area filled with clean, play-safe sand. It’s like bringing a little bit of the beach to any location. Sandpits can be used for various activities, from simple sand castle building to more organized games like treasure hunts. They often come with buckets, shovels, moulds, and other sand toys to encourage creative play.

How?

Set up a large, shallow container or designated area and fill it with clean play sand. Provide a variety of sand toys like shovels, rakes, buckets, and moulds. You might add some small toys for hide-and-seek games in the sand. Make sure there’s enough space around the sand pit for kids to move freely. You can organize specific activities, like a sand castle contest, or just let children play freely. Always supervise young children around the sand pit.
