Sand Castles Anywhere
When getting a toy for your kid, there’s someone important to consider: you.
Is this self-centered? No. It’s a different ‘self’ thing: self-preservation. After all, your little one will either LOVE whatever you get them, or they’ll HATE it for entirely inexplicable reasons. Attempting to find some code or pattern in what they absolutely adore and outright despise is a fool’s errand.
What you can know is what YOU will enjoy playing with alongside your kid.
And therein lies the important part. Most little kids won’t just say, “Ah, thank you!” and then wander off to some corner of the living room where they’ll enjoy them quietly for hours, allowing you to, like, do the dishes and fold laundry. No way, they’re gonna want YOU to get right down there on the ground and play WITH them.
Some little car that has two buttons, a few flashing lights, four sound effects, and three pre-programmed midi songs? That’s going to get real annoying real fast. For you. For your child, that thing’s like watching a well-crafted art-house crime thriller, one that can be replayed time and time again, with each subsequent viewing revealing new layers of subtext never before noticed.
A fun, creative, building toy, on the other hand? Like this Create-a-Castle activity bundle? Your kid will love messing with it. And you will too.
But, to back up: what exactly is it? Well, basically a beach that you can bring into your home without it making a huge mess. The sand itself maintains the firmness and malleability of wet sand, only it’s not wet. Plus, you get a whole bunch of different pieces to sculpt it however you want. That means you can build sand castles on the kitchen floor, on the dining room table, out back on the deck, or wherever.
Oh, and BTW, if the kid you’re buying this for is your kid, awesome! We hope they enjoy it! But just remember, this time of year, they’re not the only one you need to be shopping for. Mother’s Day lurks right around the corner. Which is why SideDeal set up a number of special Mother’s Day sales with beauty products, some glitz, some gadgets, and a whole bunch of shiny stuff.
So check that out. But only after you buy this sand castle kit. For your kid. And by ‘your kid,’ we mean ‘you.’
