1. Sand & water
Sand and water play usually takes place outdoors, in the sandpit, the kindergarten, at home or at the beach. This provides larger settings than the room, and therefore, the play may be more physical.
Children love playing in the sand, feeling it in their hands or at their feet. They love making sand cakes, mud pies, playing with sand moulds, shovels and rakes that are leaving beautiful patterns in the sand.
Playing with sand and water is also important for the development of the child’s senses, for instance the sense of feeling and the feel for textures and shapes.
When the children are young, it is important that their physical skills be stimulated at an early stage in order for the child’s movement skills to develop and strengthen. When the child is playing outside using its physique, it becomes familiar with its body and experiences the joy of moving. Therefore, playing with sand and water is contributing to the child’s healthy development. Later on, when reaching school age, this will ensure a healthy relationship with physical exercise and nature.

3. Good to Know
All dantoy products are safe. Therefore, we have chosen to add the Nordic Ecolabel (the Nordic Swan) to approximately 90% of our products and more are coming.
Nordic Ecolabelled toys are the official Ecolabel of the Nordic countries and are, among other things, free of phthalates (suspected of being endocrine disrupting), perfume (allergens), aromatic solvents (harmful), PVC, lead, cadmium, mercury and organic tin compounds (harmful to both health and environment).

All our products are dishwasher safe, however we recommend cleaning toys with stickers manually.
At dantoy, we only use premium and hardwearing materials, and the products may thus be used repeatedly in the sandpit, the kindergarten, the garden or the playground.
