5 Great Beach Toys for Toddlers
Green Toys Red Eco Dump Truck: This dump truck isn’t just cute for transporting sand to your castle work site, it’s also eco-friendly! It’s made from all recycled materials and features a workable rear dumper. Since it has no metal axles, you don’t have to worry about it getting rusty and seizing up on your child when it gets wet!

Jake and the Never Land Pirates Beach Ball: Beach balls are must-have beach toys for toddlers. They’re great for helping with hand-eye coordination, plus they’re just plain fun to play with! Jake and the Neverland Pirates is a huge hit among this age group. Since it is made of plastic, it’s important to supervise your toddler while playing with it. Hey, if you’re anything like me, it may actually help increase YOUR hand-eye coordination at the same time! My son says I STILL need to work on my catching skills, and we’ve been at this for 8 years!
Green Toys Sand Play Set
: This cute playset includes a bucket, shovel, rake and sand mold, all the essential beach toys for toddlers in one set. What makes it green? It’s made from recycled milk containers! I love toys that teach kids how to protect the environment. Help your toddler create the ultimate sand castle or just let him explore on his own. My son used to just love filling the bucket and dumping it. As tempting as it was to step in and try to micro-manage his castle building, I had to force myself to sit back and let him go.
Mud Pie Surf’s Up Crab Beach Bag with Toys
Isn’t this just too stinking cute? I love it! Your toddler will love the vibrant colors and the cute red crab bag. You’ll love the fact that it’s made from easy-to-clean nylon- a must for sandy beach days! Comes with a shovel and cute little sand molds.
Hape Ice Cream Shop
Sand castles aren’t your toddler’s thing? How about sand ice-cream cones and sundaes? This cute little set will let them make both. Use sand as the “ice-cream” then help your tot find some small pebbles or shells for sprinkles. Use a larger pebble as the cherry on top. Maybe add some wet sand to the sundaes to make hot fudge. The little carrying case doubles as a bucket. If you do decide to make sand castles, the bucket is great for the base while the cones make perfect turrets.

The Eco-friendly Dump Truck is my fave!
The truck is such a great idea! I have so many other sand toys, but the truck is unique and offers so much (to build, to be a food truck- which we love, or to be a destroyer)! Great list!
My son has the ice cream bucket too, it’s so cute!
We live near the beach, many of them actually. These would be perfect there or for backyard play.
These are all fun ideas. That beach bag is so adorable.
Such cute toys for the little ones. When mine were in this age group they could not get enough of playing in the sand.
I love the truck. Such a cute toy and love that it’s ecofriendly!
we just made a sandbox for our 2 yr old and he would love this dump truck!
