Many come with benches and covers to keep your child in the shade, while others boast creative and fun designs, including boats, cars and animals, which are sure to please. This sandpit is made from solid wood with an environmentally friendly water-based varnish and plastic-coated corners for safety. It has a height-adjustable canopy with high UV protection which also functions as a lid to keep rain, leaves and animals out of the play area. You also get a water-permeable, root-resistant groundsheet to stop weeds growing up through the sandpit. While some rushed to get them for their kids, others went shopping for their pooches.

Sponsorship & Advertising Policy Bringing all the fun of the beach to your home in the form of a sandpit has always been a great way to keep young children entertained.

For kids to play safely in their sandbox, it's important that the box is kept covered until the next playtime, which is why we would always recommend a sandpit with a lid or covering. This is also important to make sure that rain and any other nasties can't get in and affect the sand. With regular raking and appropriate drainage, you should be able to keep your sandpit clean and in tip-top condition. There's also a brand new feature that hasn't been included in previous models - an ‘ice cream parlour‘ play corner with 2 holes for sand-cones and 2 plastic containers.

Best For Early Years

Sandpits offer no end of fun for kids during the summer months. They encourage outdoor play and exercise, while also helping develop your child's creativity skills, as they work at building sand castles and making shapes in the sand, try digging or simply let their imaginations run wild playing with their toys on sunny days in the garden.

The Scooter kit comes with a steering handle, as well as stabilisers to help young ones feel in control while keeping them safe and sound.
