Playing in the Sandbox – Build, Think, Imagine

Playing in the Sandbox is a ThinkBox theme centered around creativity, cooperation, and emotional exploration through open-ended sensory play. Inspired by the timeless joy of digging, building, and imagining in the sand, this box helps children think, express feelings, navigate challenges, and create meaningful connections—all while using their hands and minds.

Each box includes:

• Calming sand in a neutral tray
• Themed objects
• 12 SEL activities focused on creativity, resilience, and collaboration
• Prompts to help children express emotions, reflect on social interactions, and reset through play
• Screen-free, hands-on learning with soothing tactile feedback

SEL Focus:

• Emotional expression and reflection
• Resilience and flexible thinking
• Cooperative play and empathy
• Mindfulness through sensory engagement

Ideal for ages 6–14, this box supports students who need space to create, rebuild, and reflect—whether they’re processing big feelings or simply seeking a calm, imaginative outlet.

“The sandbox reminds us: even when something falls apart, we can always rebuild—together.” — ThinkBox philosophy
