The Sand Desk with Sand Hoist is a fantastic attraction in the playground, keeping children absorbed in explorative play for hours. The open design allows for eye contact, cooperation and negotiation across the play piece, stimulating social-emotional skills as well as communication and cognitive skills. The splash basin can hold materials, and the rubber plug can be pulled up to let water stream out of the basin or let go to keep water in the basin. This trains the child's understanding of cause and effect. The funnel can transport materials and evoke a sense of wonder. This explorative play holds a multitude of opportunities for creativity and logical thinking, all stimulating children's cognitive-creative development. The hoist is worked vertically by pulling the chain. The sand shovel will go up or down when pulling the chain. It will stay put when the chain is let go of. This, apart from providing fascinating sand play, is as well a great training of children's logical thinking skills.
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child “want” or developmentally “need” to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
