Pyramid Sand Toy

While it's fun to make your own pyramids at the beach, these don't hold together super-well. Or at least my 4 and 8 year olds haven't figured out the "trick" to making them stay together yet!


	We assisted our customer with these Sandcastle Tips: Use water, evenly distributed in the sand. Not too much, not too little. You will need to experiment. The right amount will cause the sand to "stick" and hold the shape of the mold. When you tip the mold upside down to release the sand, make sure the surface it is going to is smooth. If the ground sand surface is uneven, it will cause the shape to break up. Some types of sand hold together better than others. If the sand particles are angular instead of round- the sand will hold a shape better. Sphere-shaped sand particles tend to disperse, just like a pile of marbles would roll away.)

When i was a kid we didnt have cool toys like this! My kids love to make pyramids in our sandbox and pretend they are in Egypt, then they smash them to pieces! I bought a few of these sandtoys and the pyramid one is one of the most fun. It's made from a sturdy plastic and we'll get lots of use out of it for a long time! Love it!

Fun sand toy

My preschool son uses this toy along with his other sand toys. He likes the shape and uses it to top his towers. Of all his sand toys, this one takes a little more precise packing of the sand to retain its shape when placed. It took him a little while to get the hang of it, but now he can get the pyramid shape nearly every time he uses it.

timeless design

It gets the job done! :) Of course any type of mold would easily be released from this piece, whether it be sand, or other. I suppose it's structural stability of a pyramid helps as well.

Pyramids by the Sea!

This is a nice toy for creating more interesting sand castles. I did find however, that the sand does not hold its shape as well as the Colosseum and Parthenon molds do.

Good quality, but kids didn't use it much

It's well made, but is a little smaller than I had imagined it to be.

A rating of Educo Pyramid Sand Toy
Posted 7/3/2011 by Amy Thomson Jacobs

We've only just gotten it and I have only gone to the beach once. I put it out with children who weren't even mine and they happily incorporated it into their castel building. They also used the brick kit I purchased with the pyramid, Colloseum and Parthenon. I think it is a great way to make architechture and culture relevant to my 4 (10,8,4 1/2, 2 1/2) children. Having my 2 1/2 year old say 'Daddy, LOOK, my Parthenon' has genuine comic value.
