Sand STEAM Stand

Turn your outdoor area into a mini engineering lab with our Sand STEAM Stand. Children place funnels (sold separately) into the sturdy planks and watch sand tumble, float, and spin from top to bottom, landing in waiting buckets (sold separately). With two rows for funnels, experimentation is endless: what happens if you swap positions, tip a little extra sand, or time the fall? It's hands-on physics disguised as play. Perfect for sand and water play, tray-based investigations or even group STEM challenges, this stand encourages problem-solving, curiosity, and collaboration. The robust construction ensures it can take the outdoor rigours of a busy EYFS or primary setting, while remaining at the right height for children to explore independently. Encourages fine motor development as children manipulate funnels and pour sand, and supports creative thinking as they build their own sand experiments. Features Dual Funnel Rows: Provides two levels of experimentation with sand flow. Funnels not included. Space for Buckets: Catches sand and encourages measurement and collection activities. Buckets not included. Holes for Pipes: Holes down the sides for weaving pipes in and out. Pipes sold separately. Sturdy Planks: Secure base for funnels, supporting stable sand flow. Outdoor-Ready Build: Durable construction ideal for continuous outdoor use. Accessible Height: Perfect for children to reach and interact safely. Benefits Cause and Effect: Children learn how sand moves through funnels. Fine Motor Skills: Handling funnels and pouring sand develops dexterity. Early Physics Concepts: Introduces motion, gravity and flow through play. Problem Solving: Children explore swapping, tipping, and timing sand experiments. Collaboration and Communication: Encourages group play and discussion around results.
