The Smart Beach Toy Swap: Why Scrunch Buckets Are the Best for Travel, Play & the Planet
When it comes to family days out at the beach, there's one thing we always recommend: pack light, pack smart, and ditch the throwaway plastic. The Scrunch Bucket and Spade Set is everything a family needs in a beach toy.
Say Goodbye to Plastic Waste
How many times have you picked up a cheap plastic bucket on holiday, only for it to crack before the week’s out? Or tried to stuff a bulky spade into your suitcase, only to give up and leave it behind?
Single-use plastic toys are one of the biggest sources of beachside waste. They’re rarely recyclable, often break within a few uses, and are awkward to carry. That’s where Scrunch Toys come in – a foldable bucket and soft silicone spade set that’s durable, sustainable, and built to last.
Why Families Choose Scrunch Toys
✅ Folding, Flexible & Packable
Made from 100% food-grade silicone, the Scrunch bucket can be folded, rolled, or squashed without damage – perfect for hand luggage or a day bag.
✅ Collapsible but Strong
Don’t be fooled by its soft feel – this collapsible bucket is tough enough for serious sandcastle work, water carrying, and rock pooling.
✅ Eco-conscious & Long-lasting
Unlike plastic beach toys that end up in landfill (or worse, in the sea), Scrunch Toys are made to last for years. Fewer toys in the bin = less waste for the planet.
✅ Gentle on Little Hands
The soft silicone construction is safe, non-toxic, and free from sharp edges – ideal for toddlers and older kids alike.
✅ Stylish & Sustainable
With modern colours and clever design, this is a toy you’ll actually enjoy packing.
