Ken’s job may be “beach,” but our job is to tell you which beach toys are worth packing on your next trip!
Beach toys for toddlers require a particular set of attributes: They have to be compact and small enough to carry along with their 700 snacks, they have to be entertaining enough to get them out of the water for more than a minute, and they need to encourage some family fun in the sun! Below are just a few of our faves that manage to hit these marks.
JOHN DEERE KIDS 3-PIECE SANDBOX SETS
Each set comes with a shovel, a bucket, and a vehicle: a John Deere construction yellow dump truck (Construction Set) or a John Deere green tractor with a loader (Farm Set). In addition to the sandbox, the pieces also work well in the snow for bonus winter fun.
