Our Story
“Creativity and fun lead to development. Our fondest memories are on the sandy beaches of family vacations. We created The Sandbox for children to enjoy an immersive, hands-on play experience that excites both their senses and imagination. We use only the best sand, imported from The Bahamas to invoke the feelings we cherish with our loved ones.”
Why The Sandbox?
Our family has always loved imaginative play, and that passion inspired the creation of our space. When we noticed our son turning the planter boxes on our front porch into construction sites...digging, exploring, and building worlds with his trucks...we realized how powerful open-ended play can be. We set out to create a place where children can come together, use their imaginations freely, and experience hands-on fun in a safe, welcoming environment—despite what mother nature may have planned for the weather outside!
Designed by families, for families
The creation of this idea and space was a family collaborative effort. We engaged our children for ideas on not just toys, but brand concept and design, experiences and memory creation. We set out to create an environment that is not hectic or overstimulating. We want you to feel at ease and comfortable. Our sandbox is also designed to allow you to participate in the experience alongside your kiddos. Our team also prioritizes the overall cleanliness and removal of dust throughout the space. You'll notice our team is constantly sweeping and wiping sand particles back into the box as well as installed top of the line dust collection and minimization systems. Don't forget about our gourmet coffee station, stack offerings and parent work stations!
Sand imported from the Bahamas...
The most important decision we had to make right away was which sand to use. We realized that choosing the right type was crucial to providing a safe and clean experience. Most store-bought sands are sticky, dusty, or contain bacteria, making them impracticable and sometimes dangerous. However, after thorough research, we discovered clean and natural sand made of 98% sustainable calcium carbonate and originating from the beaches of The Bahamas that transports even our adult friends to a wonderful state of mind.

Cleaning Commitment
We’ve developed a meticulous process to ensure that our playspace remains not just clean, but pristine for every child’s enjoyment.
1
Prevention
We have a strict no-drink and no-snack policy in our sandbox areas as a first line of defense. Our team also constantly monitors and inspects the sandbox to remove any prohibited materials. Also, there are no shoes allowed any any times.
2
Aeration
Our sand undergoes daily aeration where it is turned over and exposed, so it can remain fluffy and pristine.

Hygiene and Disinfection
We regularly treat the sand with a non-toxic, vinegar-based cleaning solution that eliminates any lurking bacteria. Additionally, our sandbox toys undergo thorough and regular cleaning, leaving no room for germs or dirt.
Minimizing Dust
Our commitment to cleanliness extends past just the sandbox. We’ve invested in state of the art dust filtration systems to keep clean fresh air recycling through the environment at all times.
