Six pieces total - a child-sized wheelbarrow, a bucket, a shovel, a hand rake, a turtle sand mould, and a crab sand mould. Everything stores inside the wheelbarrow, which makes it fairly easy to carry to the garden or pack for a trip without losing half the tools on the way.

They work in wet sand. Press them in, pack firmly, lift out and you get a turtle or crab shape. Standard sand mould behaviour - they work best when the sand is damp enough to hold its form. Dry loose sand won't give you a clean result, which is worth knowing before you head to a sandpit.

Listed as 3 years and above, which is slightly older than most other DOLU sets in this range. The wheelbarrow has handles that need a bit of coordination to push properly, and the rake has narrower tines compared to the shovel. A confident 2.5-year-old might manage it fine, but the age guide is reasonably set here.

The full set dimensions are 25 × 51 × 27 cm - the 51 cm is the length, so the wheelbarrow is roughly half a metre long. Not a tiny toy. Big enough to actually load with sand and push around, which is the point.

The plastic is described as weather-resistant and durable, so it can handle beach conditions reasonably well. Salt water isn't going to destroy it, though rinsing it off after beach use is a good habit with any plastic toy. Leaving it in direct sun for weeks on end will eventually fade the colours, but that's true of most outdoor plastic toys.

Works perfectly in a garden or compound. Kids use the wheelbarrow for carrying soil, leaves, pebbles, or whatever they've decided needs transporting from one end of the yard to the other. The beach theme is mostly cosmetic - the set is practical enough for general outdoor play throughout the year.
