Put some green in your beach sand castles!

The only thing I would change about the design, which really is just a preference, is the hollow underside of the shovel and rake. I wish it was covered with some plastic on that side, even though it is an unnecessary use of material. The way it is designed now, it is hard to get sand and dirt out of those small nooks with the criss cross plastic that is there to make it rigid and sturdy. If that was covered it would be a lot easier to clean. 
 

QUALITY & VALUE: The set is extremely durable. I mean, I can sit on the pail and it will be just fine. I know you can't say that for every pail out there on the market, they are usually very flimsy and will only last one season - or even worse, one beach trip. This will last indefinitely unless someone breaks it intentionally! The plastic material is very thick and rigid, so there is no fear of it snapping when you are halfway finished with your castle :)

It is also well priced for an Eco-friendly toy - which tend to be more expensive for reasons I have yet to understand. The entire set will cost you anywhere from $15 to $20 depending on where you buy it. That's a small price to pay for some intense beach fun with your kids!
