Willy Spheres - Sand Shapers

This is a super fun sand toy for the whole family. It works on sand and snow, but we bought the set specifically for the sand. The discs make round spheres. Use fairly packed sand. These tools don't make a typical sand castle, but a creative bubble sculpture. Look for the YouTube video for the inventor's video demonstration of the bigger set of Willyspheres. You'll want to buy both sets to take to the beach.

great addition to everyones sand set for the beach - small children can use it with easewe found this video which helps to explain how to use it to make a perfect ball - http://youtu.be/BxUcWt13dfUpretty cool - we used it and it works but depends on the sand you have - we were in south padre island in Texas

These are great and so easy to use! The cost was a little much but I had so much fun goofing around with these that it was worth it. Plus my Christmas card picture is all ready to go. I can't wait to go to the beach again to see what else I can create.

Having lots of fun in the sand.

There are YouTube videos that show you how to use these. They are expensive for little bits of plastic, but the price on Amazon was less than other sites. The actual discs are smaller than expected with the largest being approximately a 4 inches round that makes a 20 inch sphere. The other 3 disks make spheres that are 16, 12, and 8 inches. I have seen people use cone-shaped kitchen funnels to do something similar but have not tried it myself.

Although currently expensive (I paid $30 USD) - this product works EXACTLY as advertised and was easily picked up by me and my 7 year old. This is a very fun toy for the beach.

Wonderful, simple product. Great fun to sculpt and play with on the beach. The different sizes lend themselves to trying a variety of ideas.

The sand shapers were a hit with everyone from young to adult. Easy to use and works perfectly
