Playing

Sandboxes are also often found in public parks. D Almost always they are located at ground level, or slightly raised, that is in a difficult position to reach for children that cannot get off their wheelchair. It would be interesting to arrange a transfer platform or rather a kind of short stairway with a few but wide and low steps, on a corner of the sandbox, arranged so that the child can get off or back on its wheelchair alone and reach the play area.

Alternatively or in addition to the low sandbox there can also be an activity table. The market offers a variety of forms and sizes, but essentially they are all tables or raised levels able to contain sand (or other loose material or water) in one or more buckets. Playing is done standing up or getting close with the wheelchair.

The configuration of these toys must allow a child in a wheelchair to get close to the table, and reach the material to manipulate with ease. Therefore, it becomes important that the toy is composed of more levels at different heights, making it usable by children of different heights or those using wheelchairs of different sizes. It must also be ensured that the arrangement of the legs that support the sandbox or the manipulation table, the depth or the shape of the buckets, and the width of any border around the buckets themselves allow a child on a wheelchair to get close to the toy and manipulate easily.

In this toy the grip and support should be facilitated by handles or other similar types of handhold. It would be interesting if there were at least one stool or a small bench available for children that cannot stand for long.
