International Playthings: iPlay Beach Builder Sculptor Set Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 290 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Secret's Custom Creations!

Have some fun in the sun! The iPlay Beach Builder Sculptor Set from International Playthings made our day at the beach even better! Normally my children are happy with a bucket and shovel, but this set really made them oooo and ahhh.

This 10 piece set includes 5 sculpting tools, shovel, 2 textured rollers: stone and sea, and durable storage tote. The tote is really nice to have. Once we were done with the tools, in the bag they went. It is a very nice carrying case that is very useful.

The textured rollers were a hit! My kids had so much fun making patterns in the sand all day. They really came up with some beautiful sand creations. This set will come with us anytime we're at the beach. It's super fun for children and really turns an ordinary day at the beach into an extraordinary adventure!

Here is a bit more about the company from their website:

You can find the rules to all the games on the website under "For Parents." I think this is great in case the rules some how get lost. Thanks!

Hmm, tell you something about this company that you didn't mention..hmmm. Well the first thing that comes to mind is that they are smart enough to market their product through blogs and giveaways. I appreciate it very much.

Also, I learned on their site that they have a whole section "For Parents" with great tips on selecting the right toy for your child. Also, you can download game rules and assembly instructions from the website. Not that we've ever lost paperwork in our house, no, I'm just sayin'.....

We would have SO much fun using this at the beach Indiana State Dunes. It's a favorite spot for sand builder enthusiasts! Travel Channel picked us as one of the top ten beaches (to be honest, not exactly sure why they did that, but hey!)

Their website is split so you can search by age of the child you're trying to buy for - so you can always be sure you're getting age-appropriate toys.

We'll take Shane down to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware and possibly also to Ocean City in Maryland as well.

Secret's Custom Creations said...

I learned that "throughout the life cycle of a product, we periodically conduct re-tests to ensure that safety and quality are maintained over multiple manufacturing runs and as standards change. This testing includes checking for the presence of lead and other harmful chemicals in our toys. We also work very closely with our overseas vendors to ensure that rigorous quality control measures are in place for every item that we produce and import."

Thanks,
secretl@cox.net

Nad said...

We'd use this at the beach and at the sand pit of our local park.
