Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Nesting Sand Pails

Unknowingly purchased this set for a second time in two years for use at beach house. The new set looks almost the same as the first set (after sitting g out in the Bahamian sun for a year). The only thing missing was the handle from one of the year old pails

We bought these, along with Joyin Toy Sand Beach Toys Set for our family beach trip for our four year-old and two year-old. They loved it!! Our boys are obsessed with buckets and played with these for hours on the beach and in the pool. Good quality and love that they nest, easy for storage.

I bought these buckets along with another beach toy set that came with shovels, rakes, airplanes, etc. My two boys loved these buckets more than anything else. These are practically all they played with the three days we were at the beach. And I love how incredibly durable they are. I highly recommend these buckets!

My son loved playing with these on the beach. The bottoms have molds of sea critters! They are nesting making packing them or keeping them organized super easy. They are very well made.

I got this when my boy was 8 months. He could put the small into the bigger one very easily, and he loved to do it again and again.

I mean kids sand buckets. Fill with sand dump repeat. Good quality sturdy kids buckets.

There are several reasons I like these buckets. The plastic is is thick and durable. When you squeeze them there is a little give, about 1/2, so there are not super rigid, nor flimsy. Each one is a pleasant color and there is a numerical number printed large on one side in a contrasting color. Opposite that number is the number spelled out and it is engraved in the plastic. I like this because the color is less likely to scrape off. On the bottom of each one is a mold. The #3 bucket has three turtles on the side, the number 3 spelled out and in numerical form and the bottom mold has 3 turtles to match. Each numbered bucket is like this, respectively. Even with the molds on the bottom, the buckets sit steady on a flat surface. I havent had a chance to try them out at the beach, but we use them to play with by making up games-ex:put the red car in the yellow bucket, how many are in the red bucket, etc. I am glad that they dont all have a handle because they would not nest all together as well as they do.

These have all the tools you need on the beach to build a great sand castle. I especially liked them because they all fit together for storage but act as a full set of beach tools. Smart design!

Our kids loved playing with these on the beach. A great addition to our bag of sand toys.

Love these pails. Melissa and Doug sand toys are the best. Colorful and great solid quality. Would buy as a gift.
