Sand art and play

Providing both a sand area and an art area as play centers in a children’s hospital playroom is essential for providing a variety of therapeutic, sensory, child-directed, and developmentally appropriate play activities. Sand and art play can help children of various ages to express themselves, work on their fine motor skills, unleash their creativity, and just be kids while in the unfamiliar and potentially frightening hospital environment (CITE 1).

My sister Shannon and I started to build sand castles while my mom and Amanda laid out on their towels.

and getting organized we hopped in the car for about fifteen minutes. We were on our way to the store or more specifically our favorite store ever Costco. We went there to get everything we would need for the week. Like food, swimming supplies, and sand castle equipment. When we were in the store we couldn 't find this fifth wheel connecter thing for our sewer but we needed it. We ended up going on this big wild goose chase and we still couldn’t find it anywhere.

Mother's Beach holds a dear place in my heart. It is where mothers bring their children knowing the calm, cool waves will allow their young to experience all the joy a beach can provide. I had been there many of times in my short but happy life. At the time I had just been faced with all the excitement that comes with celebrating a birthday; I was now the big 5 years old. I thought I was ready to take on the world, sadly, I was unaware of all the seemingly innocent dangers out there in the world

As I walk towards the ocean with the sand warm beneath my feet, the waves lap at my ankles, seeming as if they want to pull me out to sea.

Syllabus Dramatic Play Generally dramatic play has been proven is one of the main activities that can enhance child emotional development and can be the entertainment for the children. The game we would like to propose in our syllabus is “Live in Your Space”. In this dramatic game, the instructors will give instructions to kids to build their own space such as school, library, post office, kitchen, grocery or office.

Some felt that the children were bored quite easily with the sand tray process, and did not want to continue with the sessions. This is understandable as not all children may be suited to, or ready for, it.
