Table using constrained sand for modelling or educational purposes
"Abax" redirects here. For the ground beetle genus, see Abax (beetle).
A sand table uses constrained sand for modelling or educational purposes. The original version of a sand table may be the abax used by early Greek students. In the modern era, one common use for a sand table is to make terrain models for military planning and wargaming.
