A Sandpit is a fantastic children's toy that has been a popular choice for parents for generations, providing an unrivalled source of excitement and fun for children. Sandpits are also a great way of getting your children outside, providing them with much needed fresh air.

Our selection of wooden sandpits is extremely popular with children, with added features and optional extras allowing the user to have the best possible experience.

It is important to use sand that is specifically for play purposes. Play sand has evenly sized rounded grains and has been put through several cycles of pressure washing to remove iron oxide and other residues which could be toxic or cause staining to skin and clothing. Play sand can be bought in bags from large supermarkets, builders merchants and homeware retailers. A web search for "Play Sand" will come up with a variety of places to buy.

How do I know my sand is clean for my child? You can check your sand at home by stirring a few teaspoons of the sand into a glass of clean water, if the water remains clear when the sand has settled to the bottom of the glass, then the sand is likely to be clean.

There are many benefits to buying a sandpit - especially the beautifully crafted wooden sandpits that we have at Big Game Hunters. Getting your children in contact with sand early is a great way of preparing them for beaches and pre-school, making them used to the touch and feel of the material. Sand is very creative but also a big part of nature and the sensory side of sand is great for learning and development from a young age.

Sandpits encourage children to play using their hands, to be creative and expand their imaginations. Playing creatively can encourage different parts of the brain to work and help with growth and development.

We have been manufacturing sandpits for many years now. As the years go by we look into a variety of new and interesting products to add to our collection, so we can provide you with the best possible choice when buying for your children.

Small children need to be supervised at all times when playing in a sandpit. This is usually due to the fact that sand can be appealing for a child to eat! It may sound silly, but we all know that little people love to put things in their mouths, so this is one thing to be aware of when having very young children in a sandpit.

However, all of our sandpits have gone through extensive testing to ensure that they are both safe and durable allowing the user to enjoy it for years to come safe in the knowledge that it will not cause any harm.
