Kids Sand Sifter Shell Collector Shovel

This Beach Toy from Velleora Home Decor combines a shovel with a sieve, so sand falls through and whatever was in it - shells, sea glass, small stones - stays behind in the scoop.

That turns aimless digging into a search with results, which is what holds a child's attention on a beach for an hour rather than five minutes. It also produces a collection to take home, sort and argue about.

Two versions are offered. The handle is sized for a child's grip and the sieve is fine enough to hold small shells without clogging with wet sand. Rinse it in fresh water after use, as salt and sand left on plastic in a hot car degrade it over a season. Supervise children near water at all times regardless of depth, and check with a parent before letting a child collect and pocket unfamiliar objects from a shoreline.
