Sand Pal Beach Toys for Kids - 9 Pieces Travel-Friendly Snow Toys for Kids Ages 3-12 - Outdoor & Indoor Play Sandbox Toys Set - Sand/Snow Castle Building Molds & Tools Kit for Adults with Mesh Bag

I was hesitant to spend the money on these since we don’t usually do a lot of sand play when we go to the beach. But unusual shark activity about a hundred miles down the coast, I wanted to up the sandy entertainment for vacation this year. I wish I took pictures but I was going phone free. We actually built up walls for a castle. We had so much fun and constantly having to take turns. I will buy both my kids their own sets for next trip. 12 and 7 they both used it easily.I do wish there were pieces to fit right inside to help pack the sand down tight before pushing it out of the piece but I made do with my hand and the edge of one of the topper pieces. The shovel is great for digging and filling but I let my kids use that. I used a topper piece to dig and pack. Pieces are very sturdy.

We had more success building and stacking sand castle bricks than with other products. The syringe design of this product, and the fact that it is smaller makes a difference. I’ll be buying another set for more of us to use. For more grainy sand like ours, its good to get it pretty wet. Slightly drier than a slurry. This gives them a bit more strength. But then get the rest of the blocks stacked ASAP because as they dry, the less stable they are. More powdery sand is easier.

My kids (7 and 8 year old boys) were so excited for these for family beach vacation. With my 18 year old son, they did build some cool structures, but they all got bored before anything became very large. The pieces are rather small, so it takes many many “bricks” to make much of a castle. The photos in the advertising are deceptive. I think this set is quite a bit overpriced and we wouldn’t have done it all over again. But if you want small castles, these are cool toys and make nice bricks.

I love this option for buildings and castles at the beach. They can actually build a castle They want. We had fun using them

They worked but they make small blocks and my kids lost interest. They wanted to build faster not prettier. I would not spend the money on this again.

I took this to the beach for a mixed age group and it was a big hit! One of the teenagers even spent the entire time building a very elaborate sandcastle with this kit!Very easy to use and keep clean, highly recommended if you're wanting to build sandcastles and other things in more of a construction-based type of way! Great for aspiring engineers :)

Great. Just as advertised.

They did not work like it shows in the video. All it did was make my little cry because the sand would fall out before she flipped it over, sand got in the cracks and it wouldn't slide. I can't return, because, to try it gets sand all in it. Please don't waste your money.
