What's the best way to store sand toys?

If you 3 tips follow them, your children will play for a long time with safe, hygienic sand toys:

Tip 1: Clean all your children's sand toys regularly after playing. This works best with a damp cloth and water.
Tip 2: Tip toys, such as vehicles, buckets & Co., on their side so that excess water can drain out of the toys and they can dry. Sometimes a light tap also helps to remove the sand. Let the sand toys dry thoroughly afterward. For sand toy vehicles, remove the base so that everything can dry properly there as well.
Tip 3: During sand play breaks, it's best to store the sand toys in a bag or a well-ventilated box. Protect the toys from excessive sun exposure – if left unprotected in the sun they will become brittle faster and the color will fade. It's also important that all sand toys are completely dry before you put them away. Otherwise mold may develop!
