Birthday Bash Event: Gummy Lump Melissa & Doug Sand Toys Review & Giveaway

I have reviewed Gummy Lump Toys in the past and it is one of my favorite places to shop for toys. They carry a wide selection of toys from a variety of companies such as Haba, Cloud B, GuideCraft, and my favorite brand, Melissa & Doug.

About Gummy Lump  (from their website)

 I was so excited when Gummy Lump agreed to participate in the Birthday Bash Event. They sent us a variety of Melissa & Doug Sand Toys to review. We received the Melissa & Doug Clicker Crab Pail and Shovel (ARV $9.99, on sale right now for $7.99), Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Baking Set (ARV $14.99, on sale right now for $11.99), Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Set (ARV $14.99, on sale right now for $11.99), and Seaside Sand-Molding Set (ARV $9.99, on sale right now for $7.99).

Clicker Crab Pail and Shovel

A crab-shaped scoop and a sunny red-orange, crab-face bucket make digging for treasures at the beach even more fun! Clicker Crab is always smiling and you will be too, with this sturdy plastic duo.

This is a very cute pail and shovel that is very sturdy and perfect for hours of playing in the sand. The shovel works great and the pail is a good size that holds a lot of sand. Tobin had a lot of fun playing with the Clicker Crab Pail and Shovel and so did his friends.

Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Baking Set

Make fabulous mudpies and sandcakes with this sea-creature inspired "baking" set. Young chefs will love using the shell shaped measuring cups, octopus whisk and crab mixing spoon to "cook" up some great beach treats. The turtle lid on the "mixing" bowl doubles as a sifter!

Tobin loves to cook, whether it's real or pretend. So he was so excited when he saw his new baking set. The whisk is a lot of fun to use in the sand and the spoon is fun to stir or scoop up the sand. The measuring cups makes your child feel like a real baker. The set is adorable and I especially loved the turtle sifter. Tobin loved the Melissa & Doug Seaside Sidekicks Sand Baking Set and had so much fun "baking".

Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Set

There IS something new under the sun…a 12-piece set to make cupcakes at the beach or in the sandbox! First, fill the unique, hinged cupcake molder with sand "dough", add cupcake toppers, put in tray and "bake". You can even use the icing tool to add more designs! For storage, you may keep the whole set in the included mesh bag.

One of our favorite things to bake is cupcakes. I thought the Melissa & Doug Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Set was such a cute idea! You pack the sand into these colorful plastic cupcake liners and then top them with a fun little sea shaped molds. Then you have adorable little sand cupcakes! There is a hinged cupcake holder that makes it so you can easily take out your sand cupcake. I loved that it came with a mesh bag which makes it easy to store all the pieces. This was a fun set and really allows your child to be creative.

Seaside Sand-Molding Set

The turtle mold has lots of friends hiding under its shell…a fish, a crab, a starfish and a seahorse! This set provides hours of sand molding fun in the sandbox or at the beach and quick clean up, as all the molds store neatly in their turtle "shell".

Tobin thought the Melissa & Doug Seaside Sand-Molding Set was a lot of fun. They were easy to fill up and create cute sand molds. Tobin loved making the molds and then destroying them! It kept him busy for quite awhile and was lots of fun.

Summer is finally here and that means spending lots of fun in the sun and sand! So whether you are heading to the beach or just to your backyard, be sure to check out Gummy Lump's Melissa & Doug Sand Toys.
