Step2Cascading Cove Sand and Water Table, Kids Activity Sensory Playset, Comes with Umbrella, Summer Outdoor Toys, 7 Piece Toy Accessories, For Toddlers 1.5+ Years Old

I looked at different types water tables and sand tables and combos and finally decided on this one. Price was unbeatable (purchased during prime day and got a great deal). I based my finally decision on the following factors:1) Feedback: based on the feedback this seemed to be the best product out there regarding hour long entertainment, durability, quality, and price2) Quality: It comes with a cover lid that is fastened via cords on each side allowing it to stay put during storms and it is such a tight fit that it may not let any critters in to access the water or sand3) It is a combo: meaning it allows for versatility. You can either fill both sides with sand or water, sand and water, or rice (as per feedback when moving it indoors to keep the mess at bay and allow indoor fun during the winter months)4) It has two drain plugs (one each side) to allow the water and/or sand to drain easily5) Easy clean up6) Light enough to move7) It came with the umbrella for the times the deck has no shade. This is great to allow a little protection from the sun8) Value and price. If you would get a water table and sandbox separate from each other you would ultimately pay more unless you are lucky and get it used or hand me down or have time to build your own sand box.Only down side I found so far: My 17 months old son has discovered how fun it is to transfer the sand from his sand side to the water side to make mud (Thank you hubby lol). Either way it can get messy and a bit more cumbersome to clean the water side after his fun. Suggestion: drain the water and let the sun dry out the side and grab the vacuum. Simple and quickest method.Recommendation I like to pass one from a feedback I read on another sand table product: Add a bit of cinnamon to your play sand to deter critters (in case they find a way in with the cover). It works.

Best water table I’ve bought so far! My 3 year old is obsessed with cars and getting messy so I had to find something that could do both lol we use it as just a water table but you could definitely put whatever you wanted in there. It’s hours of fun how ever you decide to use it and multiple kids can play on it at once. Also very easy to put together and it comes with a cover. You really can’t go wrong with this one highly recommend!

I have a 10 year old and a 2 year old now I talked about getting this my 10-year-old wasn't super excited about it but then when she saw it and I filled it up she loves it and played with it for a good hour the first day we got it and my 2-year-old when she got home and saw it was so excited. I love that it covers the whole thing I don't know why this isn't a thing for all water tables and sand tables there should be a complete cover so that when Mom say no you can't play with it right now that there's a top also when it goes outside you don't want animals getting into it and cats peeing in the sand and stuff so it's really important that it has a cover plus it's easier to keep the water cleaner. We like to do a lot of sensory Play we like to do slime orbeez playing shaving cream bubbly water we want to try kinetic sand oobleck we just do a lot of sensory stuff in the buckets were great but they made such a huge mess when I used the buckets plus it's hard to find a place to store all those buckets. this is absolutely perfect it doesn't really show it in the picture but there's a little bit of a slope around the sides with a tiny little bit of an edge and it makes a whole lot less of a mess! When I was using buckets on the floor and played with orbeez there was literally orbeez everywhere within minutes but my girls happily played with this with a mat underneath it for a while and of course they don't try and be careful either and there were some orbeez on the floor but nothing like before. I literally have no complaints about this water table I'm very happy with it I'm very glad that we got it and that I chose this one. also love that it has two slots right now we currently have one slot filled with orbeez in another slot filled with water. if I had to complain about something the only thing I would complain about is the little bridge that goes on it is made to be moved easily so that if kids didn't want to play with it they didn't have to but the problem is that when they do want to play with it it just falls off so easily that it's almost impossible to play with and that was frustrating my 2-year-old quite a bit so she just uses it as a slide now thanks to her big sissy who came up with the idea. And also I can't stand it when you go to put something together and find out there's no pre-drilled holes I'm one of those people that can't stand putting furniture together or any of thing of the sort and I just can't stand it when they do not pre-drill holes LOL like I bought this water table I did not buy a Dyi project 😩🤦😅But still absolutely love it I have it in my kitchen with an absorbent mat underneath it. every couple of weeks I plan on putting a new sensory thing in there and I love that the cap is on and that the cover has it there so that the times that I'm cleaning and we're all done playing they can't get into it when I'm not looking LOL. It's not just placed on top it has little loops that tightly go around these two soft knobs that stick out of the sides so that it sticks on tight. Easy for an adult to take off but would be challenging for a little kid to take off. I can't even decide if I want to put this outside in the summertime or not because it's so great having it right there in the kitchen so that I can cook two laundry clean dishes will they have something to do without making a giant enormous mess! well depending on what's in it lol they might get a little messy themselves but at least it's not all over the floor and everywhere 😅😅 and ask for fun well obviously it's fun cuz even my 10-year-old didn't think it would be fun but yet she's loving it! Of course she has to sit on her knees or sit on a chair to play with it but she doesn't seem to mind it beats sitting completely on the floor to play in a bucket.

This is a fun table for kids I would say 18 months and up. I didn’t mix the water and sand side by side because my child throws the sand right into the water so I made it a double sand table. The cover is great so that you don’t get stuff flying into it outdoor. Very study as step 2 usually is. You will need a few more toys though they only have some Basic ones to start. I love the umbrella feature to shield the sun for the littles.

Bought for my 2 y.o. grandson and he loves it. Should get many years out of it if treated properly. Fun to mix the sand and water. He enjoys it with his construction trucks. Messy but should be! My granddaughter will like it too I am sure! Seems sturdy and fastens closed well to keep out cats. I would put it undercover in the winter months.

My four year old grandson loved this. There is just enough space for a 5 lb. Bag of sand. The umbrella is very handy in the hot weather. The lid straps on with bungee type cords, so it doesn’t blow off.

What a great buy! I was looking for water tables when I came across this one, it has everything I was looking for! The umbrella to protect littles from the sun. The table is versatile with sand or water. Ease of use as some of the children are young and vary from ages 1.5- 5. This can accommodate those age ranges! I know they will have so much fun with this table! It was a good value for the money as I got it while it had a coupon! This is not a flimsy table! It is solid and sturdy! Would highly recommend!

Love this table for my 4yr old. Perfect size and keeps them busy.
