Tiziana O. "Sabbiarelli® is a wonderful product to buy to keep the kids happy, a great pastime they always enjoy! It’s a Winner!"
Elena A. “A great product: I’ve already given someone Sabbiarelli® as a gift and it was a big success. I’m going to do the same again for someone of a different age. It’s such a versatile and educational game.”
Francesca F. “The game is fun and stimulating. My kids like it a lot. The company is really friendly and always ready to help.”
Laura A. “Simply wonderful. These Sabbiarelli® are brilliant! Bright colours, no waste, as any excess can be recovered using the cap as a funnel. I have two kids (aged 6 and 11) and they’re having the time of their lives with it. To tell the truth, I had a great time too, applying sand to the free postcard that came with the order. It's really rewarding. The result is very satisfying!!!"
Dajana A. “A very well made creative game. It’s exciting, and the youngster playing stays concentrated but relaxed too at the same time. And when they see the finished result... it’s pure joy. There’s a great assortment of albums to meet a variety of tastes. They’re so beautiful I’m seriously considering buying one of my own, as an adult."
Expert reviews
Bebicon – Paediatric neuropsychologists.
Sabbiarelli® are beautiful, but above all they’re a great way to introduce children to paper, colours and train precise motor skills: dosing strength, controlling grip, precision... The result is really rewarding!
Giacomo Spada – Speech therapist
Colouring with Sabbiarelli®, which implies the need to control the pressure exerted on the paper, is excellent visual-motor training.
Silvia Ancordi – Pedagogist
They help develop eye-hand coordination. Dosing the sand [...] helps and refines movements used later for writing. As for perception [...] taking the same pattern and colouring it with different colours helps the child understand how perception can change. This gives the child the chance to learn the difference between warm and cool colours for example, and how our perception of space and depth can change. Colouring, also with sand, is great for stress-relief. It helps you slow down and listen to yourself, helps you focus on the present. The great thing about colouring a pre-shaped pattern made by others, is that you have to play and learn to use the right colour combination to get good results. This increases self-esteem.

FAQ
How can company marketing help my business?
The brand runs promotional campaigns using social networks to boost sales for overseas retailers. We use Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The company also provides information and organises co-marketing promotional events with the retailer.
Do the kits run out if you don't buy refills?
Yes they do, and this is good for business, because once the coloured sand (and albums) have been used up, the customer can purchase refills and new albums from you, with a wide range to choose from. This makes your business modular, with many kits and refills to cater for every possible demand.
How is Sabbiarelli® sustainable?
The kits consist of coloured sand made from recycled Carrara marble, so the product isn’t created using newly-obtained raw materials, it’s recovered from extracted blocks of marble, which means considerable savings in terms of resources.
What’s more, the sand is coloured using natural, non-toxic pigments, without any pollutants, and the glitter is a natural feature of the material, without having to add any kind of artificial plastic.
We use compact, ecological (FSC certified) packaging to prevent waste.
Does the sand leave dirt and create more housework?
The tray provided with all the kits means the game can be played in a very clean way. It also encourages children to recover any excess sand, and makes it easy for them to put the sand back in the sand pen.
Can the sand scratch surfaces like floors?
Marble sand doesn’t damage delicate surfaces, as it’s softer than normal sand and crumbles before it can scratch.
Is Sabbiarelli® sold also in department stores and supermarkets?
It’s a niche product, so we decided to reserve it for small retail chains and specialised shops. The company guarantees customers won’t find kits or refills in supermarkets or department stores.

About us
Sabbiarelli® is a brand created by Ferrari Granulati, an Italian company established in 1986.
Despite being one of the most innovative and dynamic companies in the marble industry, in 2010 Ferrari Granulati was noticing the effects of the building sector crisis, so Alberto Ferrari and his wife Nadia Vallenari starting looking into possible alternative uses for their raw material: marble granulate. The result of this brainstorming was the sand painting game they called “Sabbiarelli®”.
In November 2011 a Sabbiarelli® prototype was presented to the public at the Milan games’ fair “G come Giocare”: it was the SABBIARELLI® HOME KIT, containing 12 coloured sand pens, 8 pre-cut patterns printed on adhesive sheets, a worktop tray and the “spellicolino”, a special tool for peeling off the film protecting the patterns. The game was a huge success with both the children and their parents.
In 2019 the new edition of the home kit, now called the MAXI KIT COLOR & SHINE, won the TG TOYS’ "BEST GAME MADE IN ITALY" award.
Certification and awards
- CE EN71 marked – certified by IISG (Italian Toy Safety Institute).
- Sustainable packaging with the FSC mark (Forest Stewardship Council).
- “BEST GAME MADE IN ITALY” award from TG TOYS AWARDS 2019.
