Kids favourites - Dantoy bucket and spade set

Kids toys don't get more traditional than a bucket and spade set, which is perfect for spending hours shovelling sand and building sandcastles. 

We have long been fans of Dantoy, a company which makes a wide range of eco-friendly children's toys, and their bucket and spade set is certain to be loved by any child who enjoys playing outdoors.

The Dantoy play set comes with an eco-friendly bioplastic bucket, spade, rake and watering can, all of which are made with sugarcane, making them totally non toxic. So, they are both safe and cute, which is a bonus!

Given we live in London, beaches are hard to come by, so we took our  play set to the sandpit of our local playground to give it a test run. My three-year-old loved carrying around the bucket and filling it and emptying it, time and time again. Sometimes it really is the simplest things in life that really do give us the greatest pleasure.

All of the toys within the set are well made and sturdy, which is ideal for boisterous toddlers who aren't exactly careful when it comes to looking after their toys!

Get one now and you'll be ready for hours of summertime fun. The Dantoy Bio-Toy Bucket and Spade 4 piece playset costs £12.99 from Smyths.
