Designed for kids from 18 months to 8 years, this four-piece playset uses durable, smooth plastic with rounded corners, making it comfortable for small hands. The bright colors and lightweight pieces (just 0.6 pounds) encourage creative outdoor play and fine motor skill development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included in this sand toy set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set contains four essential sand play tools: a sturdy bucket with a handle, a flat-edged shovel, a multi-tine rake, and a sifter (strainer) that lets kids sift sand for shells or create textures. Each piece is molded from high-quality plastic and finished with non-toxic, child-safe paints. The bucket measures approximately 7 inches in height and diameter (the product dimensions are 9.4 x 7 x 7 inches for the entire package).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this sand toy set safe for toddlers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHape constructs the Beach Basics set from plastic that is completely free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates. The toys have a smooth, soft finish and rounded edges to prevent scrapes. The paint used is non-toxic and child-safe. While the toys are durable for hours of sun and sand, they should be cleaned with a damp cloth only—no alcohol or washing machines, as the water-based paint can dissolve. The set is designed for outdoor play but should be stored dry to maintain its color and shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions and weight at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.40 x 7.00 x 7.00 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6 pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended age\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 months to 8 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-quality plastic, BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-toxic water-based paint, smooth rounded corners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat should you know about maintenance?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe surface of these sand toys uses safe water-based paint.
