Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Nesting Sand Pails

From the glowing reviews I imagined that the buckets were really sturdy but mine were somewhat flexible and could bend fairly easily and the handle detached itself once or twice. My 5 year old like them though and like the way they stacked so that she could carry them easily. I realised from the outset that there was only one handle but it would have been nice if more had handles and still stacked. Im not downgrading them because of this however as they were exactly as described I checked out some others in a store with a target as its logo and the Melissa and Doug ones appeared good value and of similar conbstruction so maybe Im expecting a lot...

Was comparing different sand buckets online and didnt know if these were worth the extra money. Ended up spending the next day with our friends at the beach and they had these exact buckets. They are made so much more durable than the other buckets I was looking at. The plastic is very thick and I expect these to not crack as easy. When we got home I ordered a bunch of Melissa and Doug beach products. Definitely worth the extra money.

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!

Bought these as an addition to the excellent B.Toys sand set. Very sturdy and good colors. love the sea creatures on the bottom... they look great when used as a sand mold.

Fun, bright colored buckets for the pool or beach.

As with most Melissa and Doug products, this set is very durable and made with quality materials...unlike most beach sets youll find. I purchased the cookie, cupcake, and ice cream sets as well as the nesting pails. All are great. They provided hours of fun and I am sure will last a very long time.

Grandkids love these for building sand castles. Durable and are a manageable size for hauling water from the surf. Love that they stack making them easy to transport.

Bought these for a beach trip for my 6, 9, 11 y/o children. They made lots of cities with the buckets and collected lots of shells in the buckets. Exactly what I was looking for - highly recommended.

Spend the extra money for these sturdy buckets.

Every Mellissa & Doug toy Ive purchased, or had handed down, has been of Very High Quality. Glad to know that we will get many years of use of them. They are the kinds of toys you put away and save and reuse next season. LOVE THEM.
