Yes, the majority of the beach toys that we researched are made out of heavy, durable plastic. They are designed to stand up against elements such as salt water, pool water, fresh water, sandy environments and rough play. To extend the life of these sand toys, it’s important to bring them inside after hours of outdoor play in the sun. Leaving your sand toys outside to soak in the heat of the sun day after day, could potentially damage them by causing them to crack, and the vibrant colors to fade.
