You can see spinning tops, a Jack-in-a-box, cuddly teddy bears, tin soldiers, building blocks, race cars, a rocking horse, dolls of every shape and size, and all the other toys that give joy to the young and the young at heart.  

Integrated with the sculptures will be children’s activities including Sand Sculpting Workshops, Sand Art, Sand Bottles, Sand Diggers and our “NEW” Giant Sand Pit. Plus, on weekends and school holidays, there will be Roving Entertainers from Cirque Mystique, Face Painting and, for the first time, Speed Carving will be showcased. Check the daily update on the website www.sandstormevents.com.au or at the ticket box for a timetable of activities.
