Do you remember when we were kids??
 
Do you remember back a few years ago now when we were kids you could buy buckets that were like castles for making superb sand castles in, and then you would buy a packet of little flags and put them into the turretts of the castle??

Anyone seen anything like that for sale here in Oz?? :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Toyshops sell buckets and spades etc. Never seen any little flags, though.

Woolies or Coles, in the section with party plates etc, usually have some. They cost about $2 for a pack (don't know how many are in them though :D)

Or just buy cocktail sticks, tape and paper and get the kids making their own. Keep them quiet for ages ;):D

We brought a sandcastle kit to Oz with us that we bought in the UK from Bright Minds.

This is something similar: http://www.yogee.com.au/sand-kingdom...lay-p-146.html - may be of help?

Yes that is the type of bucket, although I think that one when you include the postage is VERY expensive!! All we want is the bucket not all the other stuff, we already got that!!

But thank you shows they do make them here in Oz!!
