Little Tikes Turtle Sandbox, for Boys and Girls Ages 1-6 Years

First off directions were very good! Simple to put together but with anything plastic it takes some wiggling to make it all fit. Teather point holds the top great in windy conditions. Sturdy and took 2-50 pound bags of play sand to fill. One issue is that there is a hole in each of the 4 ‘legs’. I found wasps trying to make a nest under them. Simply covered them with duct tape so it’s an easy fix!

Love love love! My kids would spend every waking minute in their sand box if I let them. It’s such a fun toy but I do with it were bigger. It’s perfect for one child but small for two. It’s super functional because of the lid. We can just keep our toys in it and we know they’re safe overnight. It’s pretty durable because my kids have used it for a month now and it still looks brand new.

Bought this sandbox because I remember them from my childhood, and the price was reasonable. However, I was sorely disappointed when I attempted to put it together. The four pieces do not click easily in place like the video suggests. After over an hour of two of us trying to make the last piece fit seamlessly, the Clark Griswold came out of me and I’d had enough! And then there’s the issue of the turtle’s eyes… they don’t even snap into place! The eyes just loosely sit in these holes, and can be pulled out quite easily by a child. Which my toddler did immediately. So back to the Amazon warehouse it went!

Got this for my mini doxie puppy. He loves it. Was easy to put together and is holding up nicely to him in and out of it. It does look very cute and lid keeps water and other things out.

Put the thing together, halfway through I realize we are missing the bottom piece of the turtles mouth. Not significant for active play but I mean, the turtle sandbox is now headless, sooooo. It's already together, I don't want to take it apart to return it for a little piece. Was hoping I'd be able to talk to the seller and get the piece sent to me but that wasn't even an option. Just return or go f myself. Got it. Still works good but the lid is supposed to strap down to the turtles head that I don't have so now I'm off to the backyard in hopes I got a couple decent rocks for security.

Easy to assemble, tough.

I have to say that assembling this thing while not necessarily difficult was still frustrating. The pieces do not stay snapped together. It was a reasonable price but not like the turtle sandbox of my youth. That being said, my kids are thoroughly enjoying themselves and it is still a cute piece.

I’ve never met a kid who didn’t love this sandbox. It is large enough for several children to play in yet not so big that it takes up a lot of space.
