BIO Sand Play Set, 4 pcs
Whether your child is playing in the sandbox or at the beach, this sand play set is the perfect companion for making marvellous mud pies and digging up wonderful hidden treasures.
The BIO sand play set is made in Denmark. It is made of bioplastic, which is 90% sugarcane and carries the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.
Dantoy’s bioplastic toys are not designed to be biodegradable. Biodegradability would mean a shorter life span, and that would not be sustainable. When resources have been used to design and package a toy, it's more sustainable to ensure the toy lasts for many years. Biodegradability makes more sense for things like food packaging, which has a shorter production process than toys and does not involve as much packaging.
That means this toy is not made to be thrown away after use. It's made to be played with for many years, passed on to other kids when your child outgrows it, and eventually recycled as hard plastic so resources aren't wasted.
Here are some facts about Dantoy's bioplastic cycle that highlight how these toys are produced with attention to sustainability:
- Producing bioplastic helps reduce atmospheric CO2 because the sugarcane used as raw material absorbs CO2 while growing.
- The sugarcane is grown on carefully managed plantations in central and southern Brazil.
- The sugarcane is harvested at 6-12 month intervals.
- The sugarcane is used to make ethanol, which is then used to produce bioplastic.
- Bioplastic made from sugarcane is a plastic material produced with sustainability in mind.
- Bioplastic is 100% recyclable.
- For every kilogram of bioplastic produced, 3.09 kilograms of CO2 are removed from the atmosphere.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

The sandbox, or the beach, is a favourite playground for most children. The sand can be made into scrumptious cakes, huge sand castles, or road systems so toy cars and trucks can get to work in Sand City.
Get out your imagination, fine motor skills, shovel, and bucket. water around, the opportunities for play become endless - and the sand and water develop your child's sense of touch (tactile sense).
Helps develop important skills that are great for your child's well-being and learning ability:
- Encourages your child to let their imagination soar.
- Supports your child's fine motor skills.
- Develops hand-eye coordination, a skill we use for example when cutting accurately with scissors, pouring a glass of water without spilling and making a mess, or when catching, throwing, or kicking the ball that comes flying at us in the playground.
