Green Toys Sand Play Set - Tiny Toy Testers Review
So who else out there is having a case of the Mondays? Well, this little guy should brighten your day and make you dream of a Hawaiian beach! Our Tiny Toy Tester today is on special assignment, and headed out to the beach with his environmentally friendly sand toys from Green Toys. Check him out in the video below and then keep reading for the Amazon.com parents' review...
Rating System: On a five star scale, one being horrible, five being wonderful.
Assembly: 5 stars, "No assembly required: just open the package and use."
Fun Factor: 4 stars, "We didn’t have to give him any guidance; we just plopped him in the sand with the tools and he commenced with digging. We did end up fetching a lot of water in the bucket, but that’s because we’re suckers for a cute kid, so not quite the same thing… I did play with them a little myself; it’s hard to resist the timeless allure of building sandcastles on a sunny beach. But my son, and a few little friends from the beach, enjoyed digging, dumping and constructing with the toys in the sand."
Educational Factor: 3 stars, "It’s educational in that he will learn some basic principles of physics from digging and building. I think he will continue to enjoy it for years – what kid doesn’t like to build sand castles at the beach? It will teach him to use his imagination.
Novelty Factor: 1 star, "We didn’t already own a beach set, but it’s not a unique toy. What did make the toy more attractive from a parent’s perspective was that it was made from recycled materials. It’s a shovel, a bucket and a rake. Not novel; just timeless."
