Play sand

Bring the beach to your patio with play sand

Turn your garden into a miniature resort where young children can enjoy the fun of sandy shores in their own home thanks to our range of soft and silky play sand. Set up a sand and water table to keep them engaged while encouraging sensory development and fine motor skills through immersive, hands-on play. Offering opportunities to help each other learn and play, sand toys and play sand kits are a great way to get siblings or cousins to play together in harmony, as the versatile ways to play mean that kids of all ages can join in the fun. For kids who love crafts, kinetic sand is more mouldable for getting creative with sand-building that shows off their arty flair.

Screen-free fun all summer

Set it up beside a paddling pool to create a beach-inspired play area at home and keep the holiday spirits high even when you're chilling at home. The fine, mouldable sand is ideal for pairing with beach toys like scoops, buckets and moulds, all without harsh natural grains damaging sensitive young skin. Find sandpits for all ages in the Argos range to create a dedicated play space in your back garden. Cover the sand with a waterproof cover between play sessions to help protect it from rain and garden debris. Whether you’re looking for a spontaneous outdoor activity or for a way to transform a small corner of the patio into a creative play zone, play sand makes it easy to encourage screen-free fun.
