Sandbox Toys from Kettler and Guidecraft

Sandbox toys from Needle in a Haystack DurableToys.com go with sandbox quality time to make playtime enjoyable.

Enlarge: Kettler Sand Digger manual backhoe red, blue and yellow Dig the Sand Digger from Kettler by Rolly. Real ground engaging high carbon steel frame and bucket takes it to the sandbox. Ages three to five or six (up to 75 pounds) can sit on a yellow plastic adjustable seat at the dual lever German made graphic manual controls to dig and load. The blue frame has three non-steered 5" x 3" wheels set 17" apart for mobility and stability. Overall, the length with bucket extended fully is 39". The seat is about 14" above floor level. Two red-knobbed levers control completely- the blue left lever is welded to the upper arm to lift and lower the whole arm. The yellow lever on the right is linked to the elbow joint nearer to the 3¼" wide bucket. A clever link between the elbow and bucket's pivot (wrist?) moves the bucket in the same direction as the forearm by the same lever to control bite and tilt. A thoughtful design blocks a pinch points from little fingers. The seat with digger rotate around the seat base the full 360 degrees and the whole digger can be rolled with foot to ground action. A toy like this builds muscle memory as a human quickly begins to will the bucket movement without thinking about their hands, just like friend Rod's old backhoe assumes lifelike dexterity. Three year residential warranty. Sand Digger: $90 Delivered. (KT513109)

Kettler CAT Tracks Digger manual backhoe yellow and black New CATERPILLAR® Tracks Digger from Kettler. Ground engaging high carbon steel frame and bucket moves across the sandbox on a tracked chassis! Otherwise it is much like the Sand Digger above. Ages three to six can sit on a yellow plastic German made graphic adjustable seat with a "CAT" logo at the dual lever manual controls to dig and load. The "construction yellow" frame has two rubberized black tracks over four idlers 17" wide at the edges. Two levers control completely- the left lever is welded to the upper arm to lift and lower it and the right lever is linked to the elbow and wrist nearer to the 3¼" wide bucket. Yellow plastic discs at major joints block pinch points from little fingers. The seat with digger rotates completely around the base and the whole digger can be rolled on its tracks. Unlike the wheeled foot to ground versions, the tracks can be driven by the rider's feet on top of the tracks making for a two to one mechanical advantage and realistic crawler maneuverability. For ages 3 to 5 with a 75 lb. weight limit, with three year residential warranty. CAT Tracks Digger: $174 Delivered. (KT513086). Kettler CAT Digger On Wheels manual backhoe yellow and black plastic

CAT® has a second digger available now, the CAT® Digger On Wheels. This one is for younger children age three to five up to a weight limit of 75 lb. It is plastic so it's light but it stretches out to 40" long. The seat is actually a stylized bright yellow operator and mechanical space cab German made graphic that rotates just like the big ones. The four rolling wheels are set to a wide gray plastic base for stability and manuverability in the sandbox. A link between the mid-arm elbow joint and the wrist joint at the bucket coordinates motion to tuck the bucket with the right side elbow control lever. The left lever picks up the whole yellow plastic arm. $118 Delivered. (KT421015)
