Sandboxes and summer simply go together. The Green Toys Sand Play Set is the sturdiest set I’ve seen around. It’s pretty typical that I’ll go through at least 2 or more buckets and multiple shovels that don’t hold up to the level of play my kids put them through. And jagged plastic pieces…can you say dangerous?
Sturdy rope handle on the Green Toys Sand Play Set
There is no way this rope handle is going to give under the pressures of heavy sand (or my kids battling over who will get it next!) and the shovel easily supports a huge scoop of wet sand.
My kids range from 15 months old to 4 years, and they both love it! This is a toy that they will enjoy for many years. And it’s made so well, it will definitely last that long!
Kieran enjoys some time in the sand, too!
Not just for sand…Kieran also used it to collect berries one afternoon.
The Green Toys Sand Play Set includes:
- Bucket with rope handle
- Shovel
- Rake
- Castle mold
All pieces are non-toxic and BPA, PVC and phthalate-free. The rope handle is made with 100% US-made cotton. The Sand Play Set retails for $21.99 and will be the only one you’ll need all summer and beyond!
