Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Nesting Sand Pails

My 16 month old LOVED these buckets. First of all, he likes stacking and nesting toys, and these were a perfect size for him. Also having the cute sea creatures on the bottom was fun for us, as we are just learning to count things. He would look at them on the pail, and it was remarkable how well the forms came out when we made castles. We also got a bucket with a rake and shovel, but they didnt get used at all - he just wanted these nesting pails. Well done Melissa & Doug.

This set of nesting pail is a must-have for the sandbox. Set includes four pails, which are made of very thick & durable plastic in bright colors (yellow, red, blue, and green). The pails nest inside each other, and the largest one has a sturdy handle that it sized perfectly for children. Highlight of the set is the fact that each pail has a different mold on top. So when you fill the pail and turn it over, you have large, and very well-detailed, animals in the sand: starfish, turtle, crab and octopus. Little ones LOVE to decorate the sandbox with these animals! Unlike most beach/sand sets, this is very well made and will last for many summers of sand play.

Great to keep the kiddo busy at the beach. Hes really into learning his numbers now. So its a bonus that the numbers are on the sides of the buckets.

These sand buckets are amazing! They are thick, durable, and sturdy. The quality is much better than I expected for this cost. This is a good bang for your buck. We bought these just before going to the beach this year, wanting to offer my 1.5 & 3.5 year olds some toys to play with while at the beach. I was surprised when they were delivered to find the excellent quality. These buckets are super cute & my children spent hours playing with these in the sand. They also work great for dirt and water in the backyard. My older nieces also enjoyed playing with these. Such a great buy & I’m so happy I purchased these. You can’t beat the quality for the price.

Well made. Colorful. Fun! Just as described! Stacks together for traveling to the beach! Very pleased with this purchase! Melissa and Doug toys are the best!

This is a great set. It is high quality and very durable. I love the numbers and sea creatures motifs, as well as the colors. Its a bright set, easy to see and keep track of. The nesting feature is great. You get 4 buckets for the space of one. The molded sea creatures at the bottom are a very nice touch. The buckets are able to stand on their own. Not only is it useful at the beach and the pool, this is a great toy for other play as well. It totes things around, it works well to collect things, its great for a ping pong toss. There is a lot of versatility. The only con is that the large bucket is the only one with a handle. That did not stop the kids from playing with it nonstop!

Very well made. Im very happy with its quality. A good set that feels like it will last. Thank you!

Love that these stack! Helps cut down on all the stuff that is carried to the beach. Kids love playing with them.

Fun, bright colored buckets for the pool or beach.

There isnt all that much to these buckets, but my daughter has a blast playing with them at the beach. Its great too that you dont have to lug around 4 buckets, since they nest. Definitely a great investment; I can tell they will last quite awhile.
