Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Nesting Sand Pails

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!

Awesome quality! Very sturdy and functional. Stop reading and just buy them! :)

There are several reasons I like these buckets. The plastic is is thick and durable. When you squeeze them there is a little give, about 1/2, so there are not super rigid, nor flimsy. Each one is a pleasant color and there is a numerical number printed large on one side in a contrasting color. Opposite that number is the number spelled out and it is engraved in the plastic. I like this because the color is less likely to scrape off. On the bottom of each one is a mold. The #3 bucket has three turtles on the side, the number 3 spelled out and in numerical form and the bottom mold has 3 turtles to match. Each numbered bucket is like this, respectively. Even with the molds on the bottom, the buckets sit steady on a flat surface. I havent had a chance to try them out at the beach, but we use them to play with by making up games-ex:put the red car in the yellow bucket, how many are in the red bucket, etc. I am glad that they dont all have a handle because they would not nest all together as well as they do.

Excellent. My 18 m-o grandson absolutely took it over and couldnt stop playing with it for over 1/2 hour. The number, shapes, and colors make it a multipurpose learning toy in addition to the beach use. He loved stacking it over and over and over! His 4 yo brother actually stood on it (OMG) in the hardwood floor and it didnt seem to hurt them, but I dont think that should be done regularly. I dont know the status after their beach trip but if there is anything to report, Ill edit. Buy this set!

I bought these for my then 13month old to take along for our beach vacation. These pails are colorful, and made out of durable, thick plastic unlike the other beach sets that are made out of cheap, flimsy, plastic. The nesting, stack-able set also provides for some education while having fun at the beach!

Sturdy buckets, will last a long time playing in the sand.

These buckets are the best. The kids loved them specially the different designs that were on the top. Great quality plastic. Thicker plastic than what you normally find on sand buckets. These should last a while unlike the others that get thrown away when we get home from each trip.

Adorable bucket set for the sand.

Took these to the beach and my 2 year old daughter and her friends loved them.

My nieces are going to love these! <3
