Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Nesting Sand Pails

I have yet to be disappointed in a Melissa and Doug toy. This nesting/stackable pail set is adorable and helps expose children to numbers, introducing the concept of small to large as the smallest is 1 and it goes up from there. Lots of fun, sturdy and educational. A steal!

My son loves them

Exactly what I wanted

The best coolest sand buckets ever! The design moldings on the bottom come out perfect and my one year old squeals with delight!

Who cant use a lot of buckets at the beach.

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.

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!

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.

Purchased this for the kiddos, and they love them. Can build great sandcastles, and turn the adventure into a learning experience as well.

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.
