This plastic-free bucket is non-toxic, food-grade silicone made from naturally sourced quartz sand. Silicone is strong and it won’t break in a few uses or when handled roughly. It can be folded, bent or squashed any which way you can imagine, and it will always bounce right back into shape. The malleable design gives the product a super long and sustainable life span.
Most outdoor toys are made of hard plastic, which can easily break or chip when dropped and thrown about. Silicone will not chip or break therefore creating a durable product saving the waste and cost of repetitively buying toys.
When you eventually find no use for the toy you can recycle this material into silicone oil through TerraCycle, a UK-based company. Silicone oil is used in the manufacturing process most often for cars and refrigerators. This makes use of your waste and saves sourcing oil from a natural source, depleting our natural resources further.
Have you got more silicone toys?
Yes, we do! This silicone material is also used in our frisbee, which was designed to create a plastic-free option to take to the beach, garden or a park - wherever you may be with your little one. They're part of our 'Go Outside' range, with plenty of recycled plastic and alternative options - you can find them here.
Why is it important to use plastic-free products?
As we are probably all aware, plastics use an awful lot of energy to create, aren’t easy to dispose of, and are generally not so great for the environment. Most of us now dutifully recycle most of our plastic waste, one way to ‘close the loop’ is to create demand for fully recycled plastic.
Silicone is a malleable, eco-friendly alternative to plastic that can be folded, scrunched, or squashed without losing its shape. The durability of this material and its re-purpose quality gives the product a smaller environmental impact compared to plastic products.
Why have you created the silicone outdoor range?
Chimney Sheep HQ is based just on the edge of the Lake District. That means we are lucky enough to enjoy the benefits of the outdoors rather a lot and we love it! Lots of our colleagues love walking, camping, picnicking, and exploring. We’ve created our Community Interest Company Buy Land Plant Trees to further commit to preserving nature in this beautiful location. How can you not when we live in such a beautiful part of the world?!
It has made us realise that there aren’t many durable plastic-free soft toy alternatives to plastic.
We want to encourage children to play outside and reconnect with nature. The toys in our 'Go Outside' range are a great way for children and adults to go outside and play on the local green, at the beach or whilst out on a walk to make it that much more fun!

Fed up with an awkward to hold bucket when heading to the beach? This silicone bucket is lightweight and bendable, great for popping in a rucksack as you head out the door!
The bucket can be folded and flexed without losing it's shape. Its malleable design gives the bucket a super long and sustainable life. It is easily cleaned and tough enough to withstand hours of fun!
Rather than a solid plastic bucket which is both bad for the environment and easily breakable, the lightweight silicone material makes it perfect for teaching children to learn to play at the beach, explore ponds or help with gardening!
Available in 6 colours; eggshell green, lavender purple, meadow green, ocean blue, honey yellow and cherry red.

At the core of Chimney Sheep is our Community Interest Company, Buy Land Plant Trees (BLPT). For every purchase you make with us, 20% of the profit facilitates the planting of trees on agriculturally poor land in Cumbria.
We set up BLPT in 2019 as a ‘boots on the ground’ tree planting initiative. The company is run by us and the tree planting is done by us. We do it to help you and us to reduce our impact on the planet. The trees we plant reduce CO2 output as well as contribute to the reduction of flooding and the creation of habitats for wildlife.
BLPT isn’t a tick box exercise nor a distant and detached carbon offset company. In fact, this is as much part of our business as the products we sell and is an integral part of our ethos. We are big believers in the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ and want to make a genuine difference
These will be a Christmas gift ahead of next year’s anticipated beach activity. They look great and it’s good to know it’s not throwaway nasty plastic.
