Inspires children with appreciation for architecture & curiosity of the larger world
As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.
NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 2 years of age.

Pyramids in the sandbox!

My preschoolers had a blast making pyramids in my classroom sandbox, as they learned about Passover and the Jewish exodus from Egypt. These are strong, easily manipulated and a lot of fun. I ordered 4. They will be used for many years, I'm sure.
This is a super-cool and sturdy sand mold. A retail outlet is selling a couple from the same set, but they are clearly of cheaper quality. You can easily flex them. But, the ones from Fatbrain are much sturdier. I could probably stand (briefly!) on this one! The sand comes out cleanly, especially out of this pyramid mold. We bought the entire set - Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, Great Wall of China (sold as "Great Castle Wall" here), Mayan Pyramid, Great Pyramid, Parthenon and Colosseum - and they've been a hit with our kids and their friends.

This is a great toy. I got it for my grandsons (4 and 6) for play with kinetic sand. They can also use it on the beach. They were thrilled to see the shapes take form. A great learning experience also. They asked many questions about the pyramids and were excited to learn that they were making one of the seven wonders of the world!

I ordered the Educo sand pyramid. I wanted to Educo brand, as this is being used for resin molds. Educo only has their name is raised letters on the inside of the pyramid. The brand you sent me has not only their name, but four other symbols imprinted on the inside of the pyramid. I don't mean to sound picky, but now all of these symbols will appear on my finished mold. Please change your website to state the name of the new brand, as this is definitely not the brand that is shown on your website.
Educo is a line of toys by the manufacturer Hape. The brand Educo Hape appears imprinted on the inside of the pyramid sand toys.
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!
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.
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.

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.
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.)

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.
