What's a sandbox game?
Sandplay, also known as sand therapy, is accompanied by a therapist, allowing visitors to freely choose small molds from the shelves where various miniature molds (toys) are placed, and put them into special containers (sand tables) filled with fine sand to create some scenes. Then the therapist uses Jung's "mental image" theory to analyze the visitors' works.

Sandplay also brings the spiritual distance between parents and children closer. Is the sandbox game so magical? What exactly does it do?

? First, it is enough to establish a way of communication. As far as the communication between children and adults is concerned, there are always some obstacles, including language ability; Children's "hands" are rich in mind, emotion and experience, but they can't be expressed in words; Therefore, when children put toys and models in the sand table, they are actually expressing and presenting their emotions and psychological state; Through the sand table and toy models they use, children's psychological or inner world has the conditions for objective recording and analysis, which is often more effective than language.

Second, sandbox games can promote children's intellectual development. Touching sand can promote children's tactile development, and toys of various colors can promote children's visual development. The development of touch and vision will promote the development of the brain, and then promote the development of children's intelligence.

Third, sandbox games can help parents understand their children's psychology. The sand table made by children is the expression of their inner state. Using certain psychological knowledge and skills, the instructor can understand the child's psychology, and can tell the parents about this psychology to help parents understand the child better.

Fourth, sand table games can solve some problems in children's growth. Under the guidance of professional teachers, sandbox games can solve children's problems such as aggression, hyperactivity, introversion, timidity and interpersonal difficulties.

Fifth, sand table games can promote children's physical and mental harmony. Every scene created by children is an expression of their hearts. Through this expression, the child's inner order is clarified, the child's personality development is promoted, and the child's psychological level is improved.
