At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents. Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability. As garden toys go, you really can't beat the sandpit as a go-to experience that babies, toddlers and children all love. Not only does it provide hours of fun, but it also gives younger children more of an understanding of their environment, and activities that involve sand can even help them develop their hand-eye coordination and motor skills. Kidadl is independent and to make our service free to you the reader we are supported by advertising. Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong. Sponsorship & Advertising Policy

Depending on any accompanying sand toys you choose, your child can also start to explore imaginative play, as well as assisting their sensory development when playing in their sandbox. For when those summer days roll around, children spend many fun-filled hours in the garden. Rather than travelling over to a crowded beach, why not bring the beach to you with our super fun sand pits. Sandpits are a great addition to any garden for any young children. From developing their motor skills to letting them go wild in the sand as their imagination sparks. There are endless games that can be made with a sandpit, from finding items in the sand for younger explorers to building sandcastles of different shapes and sizes. Many of our sandpits are available with covers to shelter your little explorers from the harsh UV rays, letting them play as safely as possible. Our sandpit range also includes sand and water pits, perfect for those warmer days when they may need a cool down. Bringing the full feel of the beach to your outdoor space.For kids to play safely in their sandbox, it's important that the box is kept covered until the next playtime, which is why we would always recommend a sandpit with a lid or covering. This is also important to make sure that rain and any other nasties can't get in and affect the sand. With regular raking and appropriate drainage, you should be able to keep your sandpit clean and in tip-top condition. Bringing all the fun of the beach to your home in the form of a sandpit has always been a great way to keep young children entertained.
