Sand Toys For Kids

Eco Sand Toys Designed for Everyday Play

Our sand toys for kids by EKOBO (BIOBU) are designed for outdoor play with a strong focus on durability, safety, and sustainability. The products are created for repeated use at the beach, in sandpits, and in gardens, reducing the need for disposable plastic toys.

Materials and Safety

EKOBO products are made using bamboo-based composite materials, which are widely recognised as a more sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. Bamboo is a fast-growing renewable resource and is commonly used in eco-conscious consumer products.

All items are designed with smooth edges and child-friendly shapes, making them suitable for everyday handling by children.

Functional Design for Children

The sand toys are lightweight, easy to grip, and shaped to support basic motor skill development such as scooping, pouring, and carrying. Their simple forms encourage open-ended play rather than single-use functions, which aligns with modern child development principles.

A Practical Alternative to Plastic Beach Toys

Traditional plastic sand toys often break quickly and contribute to plastic waste. By contrast, BIOBU sand toys are designed for long-term use and reusability. This supports a more responsible consumption model and fits well with families looking to reduce unnecessary waste.
