Inexpensive Sand Box Toys By dsnygrl on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
We were at Rite-Aid picking up some last minute items for out trip to the beach when my son told us he wanted some toys to play with in the sand. We took him over to the summer toys section of the store and check out what they had. There were several sets available but the one we picked was the 6 piece sand toy set for $4.99.
The set includes:
* a bucket
* a sifter
* a small shovel
* a large shovel
* 2 sand molds
All of the items were made of sturdy plastic so they were ridged enough to dig down deep into the wet sand with out bending or breaking. The bucket handle was attached very well and did not break even after many trips to and from the ocean filled with water. The large shovel worked really well for digging holes and moving lots of sand at one time. The only problem we had with the set was with the large fish mold. Because of it's size, the wet sand would get stuck in parts of it and we were never able to get a perfect fish shape.
My whole family played with the set for hours and for the money, it is the perfect set of sand toys for the beach or the sand box.

What a great price for so many sand toys!! Thanks for sharing.
Great value for a ton of toys! You really got a good deal at rite aid
Good deal for Rite Aid. Sometimes they over charge a bit in my opinion. Sounds like a fun toy for the kids!
Love these sand toys for the kids. We get them all the time for the kids at the beach. Can't wait until it isn't just my nieces playing with them but my son as well. Thanks for sharing.
We always used to buy these sets for our boys when we took off for Bodega Bay. They really do hold up well and lasted through many a trip to the beach and out in the garden.
We are looking into getting a small sandbox for Jordan. I will be looking into get some sandbox toys as well and will certainly keep these in mind. The price is certainly reasonable enough. Thanks for sharing this information.
you can't beat this stuff when you go to the beach
