Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Nesting Sand Pails

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!

These buckets are great-- very sturdy plastic, they will last for years I think, compared with some other cheap buckets I bought before finding these... wish I found these sooner!

Good nesting buckets with impressions on bottom of buckets and numbers on buckets. Perfect for beach day!

Cant wait to use these w/ my son. Great attention to detail on these. LOVE!

I bought these for a 2 yr old birthday. They were sorted, stacked, separated, filled and hauled around in January on a living room floor with no sand! I can only imagine the possibilities once they take them outside! Great design and sturdy compared to most beach/sand toys on the market.

Gosh I searched and searched for good beach toys for my 6 year old and 2 year old. I have purchased so many toys in the past and buckets were always first to fall apart or just always felt cheap. These are excellent quality. Its the perfect size too for the kids to fill with water or sand and carry independently. I highly recommend.

These buckets have so many functions for my 1 year old. He loves to use it as a nesting set, put things in them and of course throw them!

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...

My son loves them

Great toy for the beach or sandbox. The only slight drawback is that the one, two, and three buckets do not have handles - only the largest one has a handle. The size 3 bucket is too heavy when filled with sand for my little one to flip - if it had a handle it might be easier. I like the set as is but it wouldve been 5 stars had all the buckets had handles. Colors are vibrant and I love that each one has a little critter at the bottom (i.e. starfish, octopus, etc).
