Big Digger Sandbox, White

What a great little sandbox! We recently purchased this for our son's 3rd birthday, and it's been a very solid investment! For a little guy obsessed with trucks and construction, it's a perfect match. He now has a "sand plant" that he works, and in the 2 months that we've owned it, it's easily gotten 75 hours of use! It's small. Don't expect several kids to get in it, it's not that large. This is a bonus for me personally, because he (with parents or friends) can gather around it and play, but not come away with sand in unmentionable places. But be warned if you're looking for one that kids get inside and move around, this isn't the one for you. I love that it has a lid, I'm secure in knowing that cats roaming the neighborhood won't borrow it. The fact that the lid also becomes part of the play area when off is fantastic in my mind, and truly raises the value. Be aware that it's not on hinges, it slides over slots as both the lid and when you attach it to become a ramp/road for the truck. All of the extra tools and the truck it comes with are a very nice bonus. The crane is so much fun for him (and me!) and I expect that he'll continue to play with this for a few years at least.

Ours came with holes in the bottom of the storage cups, so apparently that issue has been fixed. We drilled a few holes in the bottom of the main part for drainage. We filled ours with 1 bag of pea gravel. It seems very sturdy-- we've picked it up and moved it a few times with the gravel in it. My biggest "helper" even dropped one end of it about a foot onto the concrete and it didn't crack. My 4 kids-- aged 24 months to almost 10-- love our "quarry". The youngest two--aged 24 months and 4.5 years--play in it every day and we've had it for a week so far. They all like playing on the lid play space more than I expected. The lid does get gravel stuck in the cracks when it's attached for play, which makes it hard to slide apart again in the evening, but I found that I can just flick them out with a spoon handle and then it's fine. I bought some dinosaur bones to hide in there, as requested by my 9- year- old. The built- in digger is great although it does make removing and replacing the lid a little tricky because it's slightly wider than the lid opening there. ( Maybe I have yet to figure out the trick to doing it better. UPDATE: The trick is to turn the digger to the side and then slide the lid into place). It's been rained on a couple times but stayed dry inside, although getting wet is not as much of a problem with pea gravel and drainage holes. The kids all love the toys that came with it and they use the ramp formed by the lid connected. Perfect size for our apartment space. The littles can fit inside (one at a time) and the biggers can play sensory- bin style. We're very happy with our purchase and the price we paid.

This is very small, not recommended for more than two young children tops. My two year old grandson loves it! The lid is a tad tedious to get off and put back on, but I love that it fits so tight and keeps pests and dirt out of the sand. The tools and toys that come with it are fabulous and very well made. It’s too small for my little guy to get into so no sand in his clothes to deal with and it’s the perfect size for him to reach into and play with. Recommendation to manufacturer - the little “cups” on the outside are dirt and rain collectors and should be removed. I hate having to scare frogs out of them, dig out leaves, etc and worried about mosquitos with the rainy season about to start. I’ve not figured out why they were put into the design as the little shovel and rake don’t fit into them and I can think of no other purpose for them.

My grandson loves construction vehicles and loves this sandbox with excavator. The box comes with lots of additional toys perfect for sand play. My only negative thing is it's a little on the smaller side. It works for us because we live in a condo and have limited outdoor space but it would be nice if it was as a little larger. Very durable and easy to clean.

We got this for a Christmas present for my son. We put about 25 lbs kinetic sand in it along with some smaller construction equipment toys. We planned to put it in the shop, but have actually left it in the house for now. The plastic is sturdy and well designed for this purpose. It is not overly large (not large enough to sit in and play), but is great for 1-4 small children playing with their hands. The lid removes completely and can be used to extend the play area with a ramp to drive the dump truck that comes with it. It also comes with the “digger” on the box itself, 2 construction workers (like the little people characters), 2 scoops, and a shovel. It may have come with more, but I’m not positive now. One thing to note is that the lid does not seal completely or “snap” in place. It securely sits on top and is sturdy, but would not keep bugs or small outside particles from coming in. A child is unlikely to be able to get the lid off unassisted, but there’s now way to shut it entirely. It says it will hold much more sand, but 25-40 lbs is probably all I would put in it so the child can actually play with toys inside the box. Larger boxes were much more expensive and less feasible for our needs, and smaller ones were more expensive actually. Great value overall.

I haven't actually seen it . I had it sent straight to my grandson and it's not going to be opened until Christmas.

I ordered this toy for two year old twin boys- they loved it! I was told by their parents it was definitely the best present they received. Much better than a basic sand tray- lots of bits to entertain any child!

overall really nice sandbox, perfect size for when you have limited space, the lid closes well too with rivulets dents to stop the lid from gathering stale water. The only down side is that the claw cabin makes removing the lid and putting it back on a fight so you'll probably end up taking it off/not using it

We bought this as a gift for our friend's son and he loved it. It is very large and sturdy.

Durable Little Tikes product, perfect if you don't have a lot of room & the accessories that came with it can help stimulate little minds! Grandchildren use water, sand & other materials inside the box. Very happy with it!
