The aim of this page is to give some general advice for how to create your own lightbox, as a way to engage tamariki in learning, self expression, .

I've tried many sands from Piha black sand, local beach sand - and what worked best was - sandpit sand from Mitre10. It's fine - and you just need to dry it out or put into oven then sift it out a little to get rid of any small stones.
That is relative to your class size, resources available etc.
