What are the differences between a sandbox and a playground?
assistant
A sandbox is typically smaller than a playground. A playground is typically larger than a sandbox, with more features such as swings, slides, and other activities for children to enjoy. 2 A sandbox is typically made of natural materials like sand or soil, while a playground may be made of synthetic materials such as wood chips, rubber mulch, and plastic mats. 3 Sandboxes usually have fewer pieces of equipment than playgrounds, so they are easier to clean up. Playgrounds often include more complex structures that can be difficult to disassemble. 4 Sandboxes are generally designed for children to explore and experiment in, whereas playgrounds are designed for physical activity. 5 Sandboxes are typically placed outdoors, while playgrounds are typically indoors.
