pails

Sandbox toy containers

Pails is the plural of pail, a bucket—a cylindrical container with a handle, used for carrying liquids or other materials: She filled two pails with water from the well.

Pail appears in compounds like milk pail and slop pail, and in the nursery rhyme about Jack and Jill fetching a pail of water.
