A sandbox having a lid capable of being erected in a box thereof, which includes a box is internally provided with a downwardly and concavely configured recess, and the recess can have sand or water accommodated therein, characterized in that: the recess of the box has a fixing device provided therein, and the fixing device can be two slots which are in left-to-right symmetry; when the lid is removed from the box, the lid can be erected in the two slots of the box for positioning.

A beach toy bucket includes a housing and a rim. The housing has a bottom and one or more walls defining a cavity. The one or more walls include a first end and a second end. The bottom is disposed at the first end of the one or more walls. The rim is disposed at the second end of the one or more walls and collectively defines a shape surrounding the cavity. The housing and the rim are formed from a compostable material.

Toy containers for containing and hiding a surprise are disclosed, wherein the toy containers are shaped like bread products. The toy bread-shaped containers can be used in a hide-and-search game. The toys, kits, and games as disclosed can help solve the problem of getting children and/or others interested in learning about and participating in Passover and its rituals, such as removing leavened products from a home or other location.

A toy set includes: a first mold portion including: a first base portion, and an indentation formation portion extending from the first base portion, the indentation formation portion including an edge. The first mold portion is configured to receive a moldable material, the indentation formation portion is configured to form an indentation in a first side of the moldable material, and the indentation allows the moldable material to fold without separating.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for a mold system for molding structures (e.g., sand castles) from one or more various types of molding substances (e.g., sand, clay, snow). In one embodiment, a mold system comprises a split mold comprising at least two mold sections. In one embodiment, a modular mold system allows for different types of mold sections with corresponding joining elements to be joined together to create forms for molding various types of structures. In some embodiments, mold sections are configured to facilitate the breaking of a vacuum created when molding substances are packed into the mold system, thus making it easier to separate a mold from the formed structure.

A play device includes an outer shell, a holding compound, and at least one activatable character concealed within the compound. The character has a resilient/elastomeric body and at least one appendage. The character may bend, stretch, and/or be compressed. The compound is capable of temporarily confining a character covered with the compound. The compound gradually releases the character from a deformed state within the compound to an un-deformed state. The outer shell holds the deformed character within the compound to prevent the character from progressing to an activated, undeformed state until the user is ready to activate the character by releasing the character from the outer shell. Spring forces associated with the resilient or elastomeric material of the character allows it to progress from the deformed state to the un-deformed state in which the character expands and at least a portion of the character breaks free from the compound.

Equipment for building sand castles can include a body having a single, monolithic, hollow structure with a vertical axis and a sidewall that is continuous and uninterrupted in a rotational direction about the vertical axis. The sidewall can include an inner pattern that is castle-like in appearance. The inner pattern can form an outer pattern in sand located inside the body. The body also has an open bottom, an open top that is completely unobstructed and has no inward protrusion, and a top radial dimension at the open top is smaller than a bottom radial dimension at the open bottom such that the body is tapered. A handle extends from the body adjacent the open top. The handle can be used to vertically lift the body from the sand located inside the body to form a freestanding sand castle without support from the body.
