Children’s Sandpits From TP Toys: All the fun of the beach… right in your garden!
Sandpits are a fantastic way for your children to learn about the world. Just think about the word – “sandpit” (or even “sandbox”) conjures up images of thinking, of figuring things out, of being creative. Everything you want for your children, in other words.
Sandpits are where your little ones can imagine and create their own adventures. Castles to be defended (or destroyed!), rivers to cross, treasure to be buried out of the hands of pirates. Five minutes playing in the three-dimensional, tactile medium of sand can show small children more about the world and the way it works than any number of hours manipulating video game joysticks. Watching television, surfing the Internet and playing video games – none of these are necessarily bad things, but won’t give young children the textural awareness and relaxation of playing outside. A child shooting aliens for two hours is tightly wound; a child lost in the imagination of a sandpit for two hours is happy and healthy.
And unlike playing in mud, when they’re finished your children can simply brush it all off and come back inside. No more pounding of your washing machine!
At TP Toys we have a 50-year history of making toys that are both educational and, above all, fun and our various sandpit ranges reflect that history. Our sandpits come in many different shapes and sizes, and are made from both wood and plastic.
Plastic sandpits are all made from UV-stabilised materials, so won’t deteriorate even when they are left at the mercy of the elements, and wooden sandpits are made from
Forest Stewardship Council-certified timber.
Our selection of sandpits includes the 2008 Right Start Good Toy
Award-winning
Forest Picnic Deluxe, as well as a nautical-themed
Boat model made from injection-moulded plastic, which we market together with an optional
Playlid to help ensure that sand is kept clean and dry. For extra play value we have the 2009 Right Start Best Toy Award-winning
Safari sandboat and for the little pirate in your life you might consider the
Jolly Roger sandpit.
A sandpit can be the beginning of your child’s love affair with the natural world. Get them off to the best start possible with a TP Toys sandpit… And maybe when they’re having an afternoon nap you can go out and have a play yourself!
