bucket and spade
Sandcastle construction kit
A bucket and spade is the classic pair of children's beach toys—a small pail and a flat digging tool used for building sandcastles and digging holes: The kids grabbed their bucket and spade and ran toward the water.
The phrase is primarily British; Americans more often say bucket and shovel or pail and shovel.
