The story behind this one
Given to little nippers after their first surf lifesaving season.
Across Australia, families have been gifting Sandy to kids who've just completed their first season as a nipper. It's the perfect way to mark the moment, to say: you showed up, you were brave, you looked out for others.
Sandy is the gift for the beach kid. The one who runs into the waves without hesitating, who already knows the flags, who takes the patrol seriously even at age six.
He's been gifted by surf clubs, by proud parents on presentation day, and by grandparents who wanted to give something that celebrated exactly who their grandchild is becoming.
Pairs beautifully with Shaz the Sunbaker, because every lifesaver needs someone to keep an eye on.

The only Australian heirloom doll designed for small-world play
Rugaroo dolls were originally designed for the reverse side of the Rugabub Ocean Road Play Mat, a blank canvas of ocean, sand, road and train track. No illustrations. Children build the world themselves.
At approx. 13cm and 1:6 to 1:8 scale, Sandy is compatible with most dollhouse environments, the Rugaroo Miniature Playground, and the growing world of Australian small-world play.
