Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Play Set

Very robust and can tell will last a long time bought for a bday present for a sandpit but could take on holiday or to seaside/ worth the extra money as it will last for a long time. My 3 year old loved it and a good bath toy too hours of fun baking cakes with her big sister

Lovely bright set with friendly faces on all utensils. Good quality material with chunky handles for small hand. A good size too grandson loves it. Good value for money and quick delivery

This is a good sand toy, very tough, not too easily scratched by the sand and the gender-neutral colours pleased me greatly. It seems to appeal to both girls and boys from age 3 upwards. What you get is mostly what you see with this toy but I would add a few things:1. Hinged cupcake case - we haven't used it yet, but I am not convinced it's going to last very long when we do. There isn't an actual hinge so I wonder of the plastic may just snap.2. The detailing (e.g. the face on the starfish, the pattern on the fish etc) is not very deep, really quite shallow. So, to get top results you need to be quite good at using sand that is exactly damp enough and packing it in really tightly. This will annoy younger perfectionists, but should be ok for a 4 or 5 year-old to master.3. The "icing pen" is just a piece of rubber, hollow on the reverse, which makes it look like a cheap afterthought.4. The lids don't screw, click or stay on their matching bases. I didn't think it was a big deal, but my child was irritated by this.5. We liked the little mesh bag to keep the bits together.Overall, we like this and it makes a nice change from building sand castles.

What a fantastic addition to our beach toys a wonderful way to play on the sand and with the sand using imagination involving us as parents and not just building sand castles that eventually get knocked over there we did use some of the pieces to decorate a sandcastle the children had great fun having a sand café

I bought this set because it looked sturdy. Most sand toys get broken pretty quickly but this looks like it will last. Kids have loved playing with it without sand too.

Bought these for a friend's daughter who loves going to the beach. Looked a great gift and the two year old LOVED them and played for hours with them. Didn't take up much room in the beach bag either!

Very sturdy plastic and a nice item for slightly older kids. Use in the bath until the weather is good enough for outside! Fantastic quality. Some people saying the lid doesn't click on well but why does it need to?

Good concept but the 4 cake bases once turned over in sand are the wrong way up meaning it’s impossible to make a cupcake! There is one cupcake that un pops at the side so you can keep it right way up- they should all be like that in order to make the cakes. I don’t know if it’s a design error or it’ll this is just sand toys that look like cupcakes but that will never make cupcakes. Toddler likes but older child was disappointed
