I think playing in sand is one of those childhood things you never grow out of; it doesn't matter whether it's messing around with sand on the beach or digging around in a sandpit, I still love it.

The Chad Valley round sandpit comes with a ground sheet, a cover sheet (very important) and six modular pieces which fit together.

Each section has a compartment that you can fill up with water or use to store sandpit toys.

It's suitable for young sand diggers aged 18 months or over and it will take about 3kgs of sand to fill it - Argos are selling 15kg bags of play sand for £2.99.

The other good thing, I think, about this Chad Valley round sandpit is it's size, it's big enough for littlies to have fun playing in but isn't so huge it'll dominate your garden.  It's 141cms in diameter and just 18cms deep.

You can arrange to have your Chad Valley round sandpit delivered to your home for £5.95, or you can save yourself some cash and reserve and collect in-store instead.

This lovely Chad Valley Wagon which comes with sand and water toys is for sale at Argos for £9.99 While that is it’s ‘normal’ price, if you also purchase the 25 piece sand accessory set, which is ordinarily £9.99, for £5, meaning the two that would have cost you £19.98 now cost you £15.

I love the thought of a sand pit, but I must admit with a younger child I have concerns about a large sandpit – not to mention the hygiene risk with neighbourhood cats.  I like this Chad Valley Wagon, because it is both a manageable amount of sand, and in a portable container meaning play doesn’t have to stop for weather.

While the set does come with a few toys, the additional set has 25 toys including rakes and shovels in different sizes, and molds for building all sorts out of sand. Additionally, there’s two of everything, which is great if there’s more than one child, but more importantly, fantastic if one should go missing!

Of course there are plenty other options in the two for £15 sale which has been around for a while now, and as it’s around till almost the end of July there’s no rush, but it’s still a good reminder in case you’re in the market for toys!

There’s 35% off this dual purpose sand and picnic table at Amazon at the moment, making it £64.75 instead of £99.99. Ideal if you have a small garden and need to get best use out of each bit of space.

We’re about to move into a new house – a little something with a garden – and I cannot wait. It also has a conservatory, which makes me feel a little like I’m my gran every time I say the word ‘conservatory’ for some reason, but it has already been earmarked as my daughter’s playroom, so that our lounge is acceptable for visitors and doesn’t look like a whirlwind has been through it.  I’ve been on the lookout for furniture for the conservatory since we don’t really have anything suitable for the child’s paradise I hope it will become, and this little table seems pretty fit for purpose.

It is also suitable for outdoor use, and is convertible as either a table or a raised sand pit – I’d like to say that should reduce mess, but somehow I doubt it! For indoor use, I’d definitely use that area to store art and craft materials, methinks!

This table is made from FSC certified timber and has rounded corners for safety. It is supplied flat packed with easy assembly instructions.  Assembled it is L1.21 x W0.89 x H0.50m and sand isn’t included.
