Splash and build

Sand and water play is the perfect combination of tactile therapy, constructive play and scientific experiment; besides which it provides the best possible fun for all involved Sand

Sand

Finding the perfect sandbox can be a very hit and miss affair - some are too high or low from the ground, some are awkward to erect and store, others won't withstand the wear and tear of group use. But this season several manufacturers seem to have renewed their efforts to combat these problems and there are plenty of new products to look out for.

Little Tikes has introduced a Construction Sandbox into its range. This is an extra large box, measuring 165 x 122 x 36 cm, with an integral working 'crane' and dump bucket to encourage imaginative play.

Price 27.99.
