The Never-Ending Thrill of Sandboxes

When I was a kid, sandboxes were my main source of amusement each time my parents would take me to the playground. I was queen of the castle! Complete with a mote (made from nearby pond water or leftover rain). Those were the days! Now, it's possible for tried-and-true playtime favorites to be brought to the backyards of kids everywhere. The designs are creative, and children still get to experience the never-ending thrill of building sculptures from nothing but sand.

KidKraft Pirate Sandboat

Weigh the anchor and hoist the sails! This is, by far, the most unique sandbox set I've ever encountered. With plenty of room for multiple kids, this pirate-inspired place comes complete with a steering wheel, canopy, flagpole, and several stations. Each child will have a wide expanse of bench seating to be comfortable, while the bottom of the boat is where the sand can be stored. It keeps the mess to a minimum, and gives your tykes the opportunity to be pirates for a day.
