Dirt Diggers Excavator Sandbox for Kids, Including lid and Play Sand Accessories,Multicolor

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.

So when I ordered the sandbox, it was supposed to arrive in 5 days. It arrived within 2 days, and I was really excited for my boys (3 and 4) to play with it. It’s a little on the small side, but it’s ok for us because I chose to put it on the back porch so they could play in the shade. It seems to be pretty sturdy, rugged plastic, And it came with enough small toys for both if them to be happy. As my boys love all things trucks and diggers and any kind of sand or dirt, I’m certain they will get an amazing amount of playtime out of it this summer. I’m very pleased with this purchase!

This sandbox is definitely a great choice if you have 1 or maybe 2 children. I love all of the accessories and uses for the box. I also like being able to close it because of stray cats. It is minus 1 star for me simply because I personally think it’s rather small to be anything other than a solo experience.

I highly recommend this sandbox! it's very sturdy and easy to assemble!.so far it appears to be very durable and it is perfect for small spaces the instructions say that it will take hundred pounds of sand but you can easily get away with one 50 pound bag of sand! It was a great gift for my three year old grandson who loves playing in it! my only complaint is that it was a bit on the pricey side but that's with economy lol. ohhh and I love how it also came with shovel rake and a truck and two cute characters!

Little tikes has quality products.

My 2yo grandson loves his new sandbox. Played all day after Christmas and he didn’t want to stop! I originally got 50 lbs of actual sand (not silica) from Home Depot and will get 20 lbs more. But the 50 lbs seems like a good amount, though it holds 100 lbs. Lots of digging toys included, plus the excavator and dump truck. One thing that might improve this sandbox is put it on legs like a table so kids don’t have to kneel to play. But it’s great the way it is, according to my grandson. 😊

The lid is hard to get on and off. It has to snap on tightly around all 4 edges and especially around the excavator. A small piece did chip off the edge but thankfully doesn’t contribute to water leaking into the box. It is the perfect size for our space especially when not in use. I wish it was easier for our 4-5 year old (Mr. Independent) to get the lid on and off by himself.

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

Tiene buena capacidad y la tapa funciona muy bien para conservar en buen estado la arena. Además los accesorios están geniales para el juego y es bastante resistente. Encantados con la compra

Good quality as described
