When choosing sand for a children's sandbox, it is important to pay attention to everything: its type, characteristics, origin. All this greatly affects the properties of sand, which is important in children's games. It will also help parents make children's activities safer.
Here are the characteristics to consider:
Cleanliness is certainly one of the priority points when choosing sand. You should not take sand that contains shells and other debris. They may be fun for little ones at first, but they run the risk of cutting themselves on the sharp edges. Thus, this place will become unsuitable for children to play.
Its color depends on the composition of the sand. Some craftsmen suggest specially tinting the sand. It's safe, and the children's delight will know no bounds. But remember that you should always ask for a certificate for the product.
As for the size, it is better to take sand with small grains of sand. It is better to choose an option in which the diameter of the grains of sand will range from 1 to 2 millimeters. This sand is good for sculpting and will get less into your eyes and mouth in windy weather.
Uniformity also plays a role. If the material is homogeneous, then it is easier to build and sculpt from it. But if the size of the grains of sand fluctuates greatly, then nothing will come of it.
Of course, the size of the sandbox depends on how many children there are in the yard and what age they are. For example, for two children, about four years old, a size of 160 by 160 cm and 25 cm in height is enough. It is important that children can freely position themselves in the play area and not interfere with each other during games.
Depending on the number and age of children, parents choose the most suitable option. Let's look at a few standard sizes sandboxes that can be purchased in the store.
If you want to add a mushroom to the playground, then it standard height equals 180cm.
Of course, you can adjust the size of the sandbox yourself, based on the number of children playing in the yard. Also, the size will depend on the yard itself, in particular, on its size and location. It is also necessary to take into account the shape of the future structure; the parameters partly depend on it. Now we are talking about classic form, but based on these dimensions, parents will be able to make non-standard design, which is ideal for their children.
When building, it is very important to adhere to the following factors:
The children's sandbox must be kept clean so that the child does not get any infection or get injured while playing. In order for the games to be safe, it is necessary to check the cleanliness of the sand and the absence of such things as glass, garbage, stones with sharp edges, and broken toys. Sand also needs to be added periodically, as children can throw it over the edges while playing. So it’s worth buying a small supply of sand, which you will add.
Attention ! Once or twice a year, the sand needs to be completely changed. You may have to change it a little more often. It depends on how often children play with sand.
Every spring, wood and metal sandboxes are painted to make them look nice and also to protect them from rusting or rotting. If you are using a plastic model, you can simply wipe it with a napkin before installation and when it gets dirty.
Parents should also monitor what toys the child takes with him to the sandbox. If something breaks, you should throw it away immediately and check the sand for sharp parts.
In order to game Zone stayed clean longer, it is worth using covers or capes made of durable waterproof material. This will protect the sand from branches, small stones and animals that often use sand as a toilet. Often the store sells models that already have a lid. It can be removable or sliding (like a pencil case). If you are making a sandbox yourself, you can either design a lid or buy a protective sheet. It can be found in any hardware store. Its main characteristic is water resistance.
In specialized retail outlets you can find a variety of sandboxes and the necessary accessories: wooden, plastic or metal. All this can also be ordered in the online store.
Prices for this product start from 1500 rubles. As for sand, its price is low: approximately 950 rubles per ton. If you make a sandbox yourself, the price will be about the same. But with your own hands, you have a better chance of making something that will be of truly high quality, will last for many years and will bring only joy.
Any sandbox will bring joy to a child, help him develop thinking, imagination and strengthen his immunity. Therefore, it is worth starting the construction of a children's playground with a sandbox. IN in this case The task of parents is to make not only beautiful and comfortable spot for children's games, it must also be safe and fairly hygienic.
