What's the age range for this sand box?

I bought this sandbox for my grandson who turned 4. It can fit 3 kids comfortably. It is pretty high inside to be for older than 4 as well. I was sitting in it last week playing with my grandson and was just fine. The bench/storage seats are nice to have inside so you don't have to sit directly on the sand.

On the box it says "ages 8+". However, I think I remember my younger (than 8) children enjoying it as well, though they perhaps only did the simpler designs.

My son is 2 yrs old and plays with matchbox cars, target $1 plastic cars, various sized boats, and all kinds of other cars in the sandbox. We've used a construction dinosaur, a large Tonka truck in it-both with sand and water, just water, and just sand. The sand and water box will accommodate various sized cars on the tracks. The tracks are about 3 inches in width.

I got this for my son when he was 13 months old. He likes to ride in it and also push it. Amazon's description and I think what is on the box says 18 months to 8 years. 1 year old is fine as long as they are walking a bit and have decent body control. I would think kids will get bored with by age 4.

I would say get 2 boxes worth, one to play with, and the other for when the first is spread all over the house, lol! I would suggest some sort of sand box through for it to be played in, just like normal sand bits of this get all over! It is far cleaner and lots more fun then normal sand though.

I have a 5 and 9 year old. Both of them thought it was great, but I recommend that you have a sizable sand box for it. It also takes a little time for them to figure it out. In any event, it definitely is worth the purchase for the price and enjoyment.

I think a five year old would still like it, since you can build an unlimited number of things. It is difficult for my 3 year old to put the objects together by himself, so a 4-6 year old would probably be the right age.

The box says it's for children 3+ years. There are small pieces I wouldn't trust a one year old with. I did buy this for my 2 1/2 yr old but watch her very closely with it.

I'm not sure, as I bought this for my toddler grandson. I am thinking about age 7, max.

The box says 12+ and I would agree with that. I built one when I was around that age. It seemed easier to me at 12 than 50+. Old fingers don't grip as good.

The suggested age is 12+, but I just bought it for my 7 year old. Worse case it's a good training tool. Plus it has the indoor shell to protect itself.

I personally believe maximum age is 10-12 months, considering their weight, too. My 8 month old grandchild did not use it too much when first purchased (at 4-1/2 months) but began playing more with it at about 6 months. I was excited about getting the item, but afterwards I felt I made a mistake buying it since they didn't play with too much. It doesn't hold their attention for too long & you have to be careful not to "pinch" their thighs or fingers when sliding the tray off. Hope this helps others.

This was for my two year old grandson and since it was only him we got 1 50lb bag of sand. If you had 2 or more childen laying with the sandbox, I would purchase another bag. It will hold 100lbs total.

My grandchild is 3 but very small. I would guess up to 5 yrs. she doesn't play much with it.

My 4 year old grandson loves his sand digger. He has had it for about 2 years. He is finally a good height for it. He older brother (age 8) and friends can play on it, but prefer other activities.

My grandson uses it like play dough, making blocks for castles & houses. He also uses molds to make animals. It's been enough for him to play at his table indoors. The best part is that cleaning up is a snap since the sand sticks to itself. For my 5-year-old it's enough. The problems start when the grown-ups want to play too ;)

I believe I bought 20 bags of play sand, my granddaughter loves this sand box!
