dry and has good drainage. The sandpit needs to drain naturally to prevent it becoming waterlogged, so avoid any areas of the garden that are naturally wet or likely to be affected by possible flooding. Make sure all children are at a safe distance away from the sandpit until construction is complete. Vic 'Bought as a gift very well received, great having the two sheets to be able ro cover the dand pit or use othe rhalf for water in the hot weather.'

Lovesmith 'Bought for our three year old daughter. She loves it. Not too big but plenty of room and holds quite a bit of sand. The cover is really helpful and of course, is a paddling pool when it’s really sunny. The lid keeps the rain out and hasn’t been blown off yet. It’s reasonably priced and was easy to buy. Would highly recommend!'

Excellent buy for the weather we are having at the moment it's lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, sand one side water on the other and she was at the seaside.' Soph 'I bought this during the first heatwave for my dog. She loves it! It’s sturdy and she can’t break it! My partner also fills up the other half to rest his feet in, which is perfect! 2 for 1, happy dog and happy humans' 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.

Ju 'Excellent for price and quality from Argos best price from them . Good that it can be used for sand and water play .

My friends little boy loves to play in there with the sand. I put 2 15kg bags of sand in and there’s still room for more. I love that it has a lid so you can have more activities at the same time.'Luci 'Bought in heatwave for my dog after she popped others this was ideal didn't realize you got two as well' Depending on any accompanying sand toys you choose, your child can also start to explore imaginative play, as well as assisting their sensory development when playing in their sandbox.
