Giveaway: Melissa and Doug Sunny Patch Sand Toys!



I have been buying Melissa and Doug toys for my kids since they were babies.  One of my oldest daughter's First Steps Thearpast recommended them to me and that was the start of a long term relationship with Melissa and Doug Brand Toys.  What I love about all the items I have purchased over the years is that they are of excellent quality and hold up to the abuse of everyday play.  I also love that they promote creative play in combination with learning.  From puzzles to make your own beaded necklace sets, Melissa and Doug offer a wide variety of toys that any child would love to have.  And now Melissa and Doug has a new line of sand toys!

The Sunny Patch Line of Sand Toys are SUPER cute and more than just your traditional sand bucket and shovel. 

Imagine the fun that you can have with your kiddos mixing, baking and creating gourmet treats with the Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Set and Seaside Sidekicks Sand Baking Set!  I can already tell that these are going to be my girl's favorite (mine too)! 

For the more traditional sand toys, Melissa and Doug have, yet again, put a new and creative twist on an old favorite.  What child doesn't want a sand bucket, shovel and sand molds when they head out to the beach?  And this is not just your typical sand bucket...

Clicker Crab Pail And Shovel is made of sturdy plastic and is just so adorable with that always smiling face!  Don't forget the Seasides Sidekicks Sand Molding Set complete with a Turtle, Crab, Starfish and Seahorse sand mold good for hours of play at the beach or your backyard sandbox.
