I find that ALL hamsters love sand baths. Even my Syrian enjoys it, though they don't need it. I think just having a different smell, and different texture/feel to walk on offers a bit of extra cage enrichment.
As for dishes, it seems to come down to trial and error. My robos have a shallow dish, but if its too shallow then they kick sand out side of it. For dwarfs, id say any dish that they can easily climb in and out of. Some people use glass jars turned on their side. Sometimes cutting appart a tissue box will work. Maybe a shallow ceramic bowl if you have one.
