Place some sticks or reeds in the water, leaning against the side. Then they can climb up. Or, catch them and put them out yourself (wet your hands first so as not to damage their delicate skin)

Drag it to next to some plants, or put a tub or planted pot next to it and drape the foliage oner the side of the sand box.
Remember thqt whn they get out they don't want to walk across concrete or stone that will get hot and dry them up (literally), so they need access to a planted area or grass.
