Tabletop Big Builder Construction Playset - Natural Ultra Fine Play Sand and Over 20 Accessories - 10” x 10” Wood Sandbox Tray - Includes 20” x 20” No Mess Play Mat - Ages 3+

I bought this toy for my son who is on the Autism Spectrum thinking that it would provide sensory stimulation as well as a way to be creative. He loves it and so does my neurotypical 4 year old. They fight over who gets to play with it so I am buying another one, different scenario, for my 4 year old for his upcoming birthday. As others have noted, it's a nice change from Playdoh, clay, coloring, etc, on an inside play day. The boys also use their own small plastic figures and vehicles to add variety. I let them use any toy they want as long as it is sealed from the sand entering into it.You do need to watch the sand, even with the provided plastic mat, but with a few rules in place, like the boys only play with it where we tell them it's ok, like the cleaned off kitchen table, we've had no problems. A quick sweep off of the play surface when they're done and maybe a quick floor sweep/vacuum and you're done. If you are the type that every little bit of sand that might escape is going to bother you, then by all means, do not buy this toy. Also, obviously, I wouldn't recommend this toy for any children that are to young to understand that you can't eat the sand, throw the sand around, etc. I'd personally say this is for age 3-4+.Overall, great toy and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

I got this form my 3 1/2 year old, who is completely addicted to anything construction-related. Not only did he love it, but so did his 5 1/2 year old brother, and this little sandbox turned out to be the big winner on Xtmas morning. The boys sat and played at it for over an hour, even though the living room floor was covered with strong competitions, such as light sabers, etc. Later on, they still asked me to get the sandbox out so they could keep on playing. I can't wait to get the other sets as they were already using their own Schleich dinosaurs to play on the sand!It can be a bit messy for indoor play. I don't mind the clean up, but it is wise to cover a wide surface are with newspaper, or even an old bath towel that makes the clean-up process easy.

My 5 year old boy loves it.

I bought this sandbox for my 3 year old son and he looooooves it. I have to say I am also impressed. The sandbox comes with an adequate amount of sand and great little digger accessories. It also has a mat that you set it on for easy clean up so it is just fine to play with indoors and the box it comes in also serves as storage do it can easily be put away without making a mess.

It was a little smaller for my 5 yr. old. He liked it at first, but didn't play with it long. Great concept and I thought it would be something fun for him to play with in the winter. I think it just really depends on the child and what they are looking for. I think my son just likes to play with bigger construction equipment. If your child likes to play with smaller equipment, I think he/she would like it. The sand is very fine and can easily be pushed out of the box with very little effort. It is very well made and does come with a play mat to catch sand.

This toy rocks. It was my son's favorite present. Let the creative juices flow! Good quality pieces. It also comes with a decorative plastic sheet which you place down under the sandbox to collect any stray fine grains of sand. When not in use, I placed the box and all the pieces into an extra large ziplock bag, and then put it back into the box in which it came. Easy storage, and easy access when the mood strikes to play with it. I also got the kitty sandbox for my daughter. There are many to choose from. Right now, it's winter, and when they pull out this toy, it's like going to the beach! Great for moms who don't mind a little mess.

Hours of fun for my 4 yr old grandson. Lots of pieces to spark imaginative play. I will definitely be purchasing the other ones too!

The mat that goes under it is tiny and cheap. Think of a garbage bag. It doesn’t prevent mess and doesn’t hold up wear and tear. The tools and truck are suuuper weak plastic. Dollar store quality. Definitely cute, but the quality makes me think it’s not worth it.
