IT’s Summer!: Green Toys Sand Play Set Review & Giveaway

written by thatsit June 5, 2011

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!

Green Toys Inc. makes an awesome line of classic children’s toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving the overall health and happiness of the planet. Their products are proudly made in the U.S.A. from 100% recycled plastic milk containers. They have won numerous awards since the inception of their company—and for good reason!
