FAQs
Is this set dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the set with mild soap and water rather than using a dishwasher, which may warp the plastic.
Can these tools be used in snow?
While designed for sand, the sturdy plastic can be used to build small snow structures or forts in lighter, packable snow.
What is the material used?
The set is made from high-quality, durable play-grade plastic.
Are the tools suitable for toddlers?
Yes, the tools are sized for small hands, though adult supervision is recommended for children under three years of age.
Does the set include a lid?
No, the set includes a castle-shaped bucket, two moulds, a rake, a scoop, and two spades; no lid is included.
Troubleshooting
Sand is sticking inside the bucket or moulds
Lightly moisten the inside of the mould with a small amount of water before packing the sand to create a non-stick surface.
Tools feel caked with dried mud
Soak the items in a bucket of warm, soapy water for ten minutes, then scrub with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This set requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. It is compatible with all standard play sand, including kinetic sand and natural beach sand. To maintain the longevity of the plastic components, rinse the bucket and tools with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prevent grit buildup or salt corrosion. Store the items in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle over extended periods.
