Description

The Pufferfish® Sandcastle Kit has everything you need to get started building epic sand castles. We spent hundreds of hours designing the perfect sand castle kit, and this is it! With this kit you've got everything you need to make something amazing.

Ocean Love™

The Pufferfish® Sandcastle Kit is super strong, and great for the planet, too.

Be a sandcastle pro!

I’m a believer! Made the most successful sandcastle I’ve ever made in 15 minutes with the Pufferfish kit last week. Every sandcastle I made before was kind of a small disappointing hill. Perfectly designed product.

GREAT TOOLS

I love my pufferfish tool set! I recently got mine directly from the source and decided to make this for them! I was very impressed with the quality and how easy it is to transport!! This simplified my tools when heading to the beach! Love the collapsible shovel! Definitely my favorite part! The bucket is way stronger than I could imagine a collapsible bucket could be! I was able to fill it full of wet sand and move it around without breaking, that's impressive because it weighs over 80lbs! This is a high quality tool set that you WILL own for decades. This is advise from a professional sculptor who uses this set 3 times a week minimum. Dan In The Sand

Sand Toys Made to Last

My husband really enjoyed making sand creations with the kids. I bought the Pufferfish Kit for him for Father's Day and it was perfect. We live close to a beach and he enjoys making this awesome creations. He gets a lot of "ooohs" and "aaahs" from passerbys.

Awesome product!! Wonderful results

Loved how Sturdy the shovel and water pail were. Made at least 50+ trips to carry water to my mermaid tail. Worked well. Had side handles on pail to grab and tilt sideways to pour water out. Would definitely recommend if you go to beach and love to play in the sand. Adults or kids. lol.

Incredibly FUN!

The Pufferfish kit had everything we needed for a fantastic week at the beach. The shovel is so amazing - comes in sections and snaps right together - and is very strong. It makes it so easy to dig a big pile of sand which is step one for an awesome castle!The bucket is really useful. It carries a lot of water and the various holding straps make it easy to carry and to pour. And then there are the Super Scoops! This tool makes shaping, carving, scraping and digging so easy. With two bags to hold the various tools its portable, durable and impressive!My family had so much fun with this and we can't wait to take Pufferfish to the beach again!

Seriously amazing beach tools

Why has nobody done this before? SO much better than the crappy flimsy tools my kids had before. AWESOME tools. So much fun. Kids LOVED them. Living at the beach now with my future architects.

The last set of sand toys/tools you will ever buy

You won’t be throwing these in landfill any time soon, unlike the el cheapo sand toys you get from the big box stores.The shovel is great for digging holes and moving sand. It collapses and a side benefit is that you can make the shovel shorter for a child to use.The buckets are super strong — I would recommend getting two so you can balance the load.Everything fits into a string bag which makes it easy to take to the beach. These are the last sand tools you will ever buy!

Frequent beach trips

We bought this product as part of their kickstarter. Pretty much used it every weekend at the beach since there’s not much else we can do during the pandemic. Love that the product is light and small. The big shovel is great. We are digging holes faster than ever. The small shovels are sturdy. The bucket is the perfect size for fetching water. Any larger would make it too heavy when filled. Our only issues are it difficult to disassemble when there’s small grains of sand in the connectors. Other issue is the blue paint on the shovel is coming off after a few uses. Not a big deal as it’s only cosmetic. Our friends really love it when they see it but are turned off by the high price point.

Defective with sharp metal pieces

Metal shovel that was supposed to be sturdy had sharp metal pieces sticking off of it. Almost gave myself a nasty cut taking the plastic off because I wasn't expecting sharp metal points. For $100 set, I would expect the metal shovel to be usable and safe. It was not. Perhaps just order the bucket and small plastic shovel. Don't waste your money on this set.

Where has this been my adult life?

I'm an older gent, and love to build sand sculptures on our annual beach trip. After countless broken plastic, or rusted camping shovels, I've finally found the perfect solution. No kiddie junk here, pack great, great quality, just an all-round prefect solution!

worth the money

I hesitated to spend such a large amount of money on sand toys. I'm glad I went ahead and did though.This set was worth every penny. It is extremely durable. The large shovel is unique and effective. The collapsible pail is so smart. The three smaller shovels were much better than any other plastic shovel you can buy. And it all packs up nicely in a smart cinch bag with extra storage. It's a well thought and well made set you will not regret.

A little spendy…

But lots of fun! My kids had a great time playing in the sand with this set. It’s a little expensive but not flimsy and I feel it will last a long time. Packs up nicely for easy transport.

Incredible beach shovel set

I've broken countless plastic shovels at the beach, and was very excited when I found the Pufferfish set online after a quick Google search. I had high hopes, and it has not disappointed. The shovel is easy to assemble/disassemble and makes quick work when digging holes. Digging huge holes and building walls has always been one my favorite activities, but now we're talking some serious holes that the kids love. The rest of the set is an added bonus that makes building castles and moats tons of fun. We've used the set about 10 times and it seems like it will last forever. If you go the beach, you need to get this.

Sturdy but safer

Sturdy with no sharp edges so, way safer for my grandsons. The set looks and feels like quality tools that should outlast their childhoods. The colors are vibrant and all fits nicely into the backpack. We have yet to use them, thank you Hurricane Beryl, although we have fondled them several times. I REALLY want to get to some sand now!

We built the most amazing sand fort with this collapsible set made of ocean plastic the last time we went to the beach! Perfect set if you have an older kid (8+) that still wants to play. You move sand fast, the only limit is your imagination. As a single mom I made dads jealous with how quickly and easily my kid was buried and we made something really cool. I liked how easy it was to break down and store everything in the bag too. The set is pricier upfront but worth the investment knowing I’ll have something that will last forever & do right by the planet.

I am a fan

This is by far the best beach castle making set around. I purchased this one for my brother in law. I have had mine for over 5 years and the metal shows some rust inside, but it still works great and not showing signs of breaking any time soon. Really easy to carry around, large shovel (metal) is quick and easy to assemble, small shovel (super resistant plastic) is great for detailing with a sharp front. The bucket is heavy if filled all the way to the top (may need to fill halfway if a kid is carrying it). It can carry a lot of water, helpful to lay the foundation for the castle in a few trips. The straps are still like new. Love to use with my kids. Thanks Pufferfish for thinking of everything.
