Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Toys Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Melissa & Doug Home

Boy, were my kids excited when we received a big box from Melissa and Doug the other day. It was chock full of Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks sand toys. Today, while the little one and my husband were off on errands, Ethan and I decided to take everything for a test drive at the sand table. We received four great sand play sets:

1. Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Set

What fun, now you can make cupcakes at the beach or sandbox. This great 12 piece set includes cupcake pan, hard plastic cupcake liners, cup cake topper molds, hinged cupcake mold, icing tool for decorating and a mesh bag to hold it all. This set was so much fun, we made cupcake after cupcake, topping them with the different shaped molds, using the hinged mold to make free standing cupcakes and just having a blast.

2. Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Baking Set

This sand baking set includes 3 nesting shell shaped measuring cup scoops, crab mixing spoon, octopus whisk, mixing bowl and turtle sifting top. Everything stores in the mixing bowl and the turtle sand sifter doubles as a secure top. This set is loads of fun. We scooped up sand with the shell shaped measuring cups added that to the mixing bowl, gave it a stir and a whisk and we were ready to fill the cupcake liners. Ethan loved filling the spoon and measuring cups and releasing them in his hand. He was so proud to have made little cakes he could hold. We also talked about the different sizes of the measuring cups and which holds the most and other learning concepts.

3.Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Clicker Crab Pail and Shovel

This bright colored crab sand pail and crab sand scoop are great fun. Crab bucket has a super sturdy handle for carrying loads of sand, shells, or both. Crab scoop allows you to get large amounts of sand in one scoop. Perfect for sand castle building or just plain digging in the sand.

4.Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand-Molding Set

This great set of molds provides hours of fun. From a large turtle to a small seahorse you will have fun filling, smoothing and unmolding these molds. Set includes turtle, fish, crab, starfish and little seahorse that all nest and store inside the turtle.

We had so much fun with these sand toys this afternoon and we went back and played again this evening. I love the high quality of these sand toys, they are built to last.
