Very heavy duty, will last a long time.
I run an indoor sand volleyball facility which does private events for schools. We provide lots of sand toys for the kids to play and build sand castles. Previous shovels we have purchased break within the first few weeks, but I'm expecting these to last us a very long time. They seem extremely d...urable and won't break into little pieces like other products.

I bought 3 large shovels from another place and my preschoolers loved them so much that they would fight over them all the time!! I am so so grateful that I found this at DSS. They are super durable and perfect for there hands to use. It comes with 8, so my preschoolers are super happy, no more fighting over shovels.

These shovels have passed the test with flying colors! Our onsite playscape has a large sandpit as it's central activity and most shovels don't last more than a couple of weeks.
