Prepare for your visit to The Sandbox

A spur-of-the-moment visit to The Sandbox can be just as rewarding as a planned visit. Either way, talk to your child about what they will see. Find out what excites them and relate what’s being learned in school to their visit. Review the operating policies to be sure your child understands safety and behavior rules.

During your visit, follow your children’s lead. Try to relate facts about the exhibits to what your child already knows. Encourage the use of imagination.

Process your experience when you return home. Find out what your child learned during the visit and what might be of interest the next time you and your child visit The Sandbox.
