I want to dedicate this article to this article. You will agree that there is hardly a child who passes past the sandbox and does not want to tinker in it a little. However, as my practice shows, the public sandboxes are loved by the children much less than homemade. It is at home that they are ready to conduct a significant part of their time in it. Why?

In fact, everything is simple. For children, the limited space that they can overlook. Homemade sandboxes Fully satisfy this need. They not only create a sense of security and security, but also provide the opportunity to create three-dimensional figures and landscapes.
In the home sandboxes you can deal with objective activities, which is extremely important for a child, you can build "your worlds", where different events occur.
In addition, when playing in the sandbox, the kid has the opportunity to enjoy and satisfy individual game. Only through her the child can go to the collective game, learn to listen and interact with other people. Therefore, the homemade sandbox is simply indispensable if you have several children. Each of them you can organize their own world.

All games, both with wet and dry sand soothing impulsive, too active children and frequency of clad, fed and disturbing kids. They develop small motility, tactile sensations and coordination of movements. In addition, perfectly affect the development of all mental functions: speech, thinking, attention, observation, imagination and memory.

What kind of children's games in the sandbox can be?

If you have a baby from 1.3 to 2.5 years, In the sand, we dig, peep, pour, drunk, swing, tear, throw, build, break the kulichiki, etc. Little kids love to feel the moment of destruction: built a kulik - broke, built a small castle - broke. Do not deprive him of this pleasure.

From 3 to 10 years The director's game is already actively used. Of course, the level of the game is different and highly depends on age. The director's game itself is individual and collective, and we remember that for a better development of a collective game, a child must first be satisfied with individual. It is important! Therefore, if you have not one child, then create each of them a personal sandbox. This is completely accurately affected by their future joint games.

What are the features of the director's game in the homemade sandbox?

First of all, it is often an individual game, both for a child of three years and for a child of ten years.
IN 2-2.5 years An adult need to show how to play and then keep the child until he goes into an independent game.
IN 3 years A child in this game learns plotthemes, i.e. compile scenes and manage objects. In this case, the subjects we perform toys, i.e. The child composes the plot, speaks for all the characters and is also managed by all.
In preschool age, the child learns to manage his imagination. A little baby 3-4x years The idea is born as it were from toys. For example, he saw a typewriter and wanted to play it, he had a plot from here. And the older child has everything exactly the opposite. He first wanted to play something, he was born his idea in an imaginary space, and he realizes it. He learns to manage his imagination, its ideas, implement their ideas.
The child is mastering the substituents, i.e. When any item can become any character. He can play not toys, but by different deputies: pebbles, branches, bumps, etc.
The director's game is preparing a child not only to an independent game, but also to the game with partners.

And the sandbox is simply ideal for the development of all these skills! In games, including in the sandbox, the initiative of the child is born and manifests itself. I have no doubt that you will watch your baby with interest how your baby creates "his worlds" there. Directly in the sandbox, the child learns to build their activities, because it is necessary to plan everything, to build a sequence of actions and in the end, to get a one-piece and deployed plot. That is how it actively develops thinking, imagination and creativity, works out the interaction skills. After all, if you have two sandboxes for each kid and they want to play together, you will have to learn to negotiate, hear another and constructively defend your opinion.

I hope you now agree with me that you need to pay more attention to children's games in sandboxes? About how to make a sandbox at home and organize the whole process, we speak the article which will soon appear on our website.

But the summer ended, the days became short, and the weather is cold, and my child and my child began to spend at home. The daughter quickly bored all her toys, and then I decided to organize a homemade sandbox for it.

It was very simple to do this, because on the Internet, ready-made sets for games with live sands of the house are sold. One of these sets I ordered for my daughter, and now I want to offer you my overview of this interesting product.

Such sand is ideal for both laying of simple figures with the help of molds and for the construction of entire locks and other complex designs. It is also nice to just go through his hands. Live sand is the perfect material for children's games at home, because it does not dry up, does not scatter around the apartment, does not pack the floor, furniture and child clothes. Comfortable plastic sandbox makes such games comfortable and even more exciting.
