Interactive Sandbox is a highly engaging product that stimulates the senses, getting children actively involved and entertained.

It creates a unique environment where entertainment, engagement, activity and learning fuse into one – creating an amazing, engaging experience. Teachers love how quickly the students become involved. iSandbox lets lava flow, oceans swirl, grass grow and bubbles blow!  iSandBOX also helps children learn about colours and numbers and how to draw and explore their surroundings.

iSandbox uses Augmented Reality to take a traditional sandpit to magical new proportions. A unique interactive software program, projector and depth measuring sensor work together to transform the sandpit into realistic 3D textures of water, mountains, volcanoes, snow and many other objects. This is coupled with beautiful music, the sounds of nature and unique graphics. Children are intrigued by sand play. They sift it, build with it, pour it, enjoy the feel of it, pretend play with it and explore how it moves.

The children of each generation are unique in their own way, but as the years go by one interest has remained prevalent – sand. An interaction of body and mind – sand aids in the development and growth of children. Irrespective of age or their individual stages of development, the sand box offers a nurturing and enticing environment where children can experiment through play. The benefit of sand play is derived from its simplicity, which fosters interaction in children. Sand play provides a platform for the application of math and science, a stage for self-expression and the wonders of the imagination. Playing in the sand hones the social skills of children and nurtures their creative side. Playing with sand can help our kids to:

• create together with other children various projects like mountains and lakes;
• discover different land and water objects by feeling, patting, shaping and digging;
• develop fine motor skills and strengthen their muscles as they move the sand around;
• promote creativity and imagination through role developing stories;
• improve hand-eye coordination.

All methods of sand play from digging to building should be received with encouragement. Instinctive to each child is a sense of creativity and imagination.
