Product Description
This adorable Sand and Water Activity Center features wood crafted styling and nature's colors that blend with traditional landscapes in residential outdoor living areas. It's divided into two separate sides -- one for water, the other for sand. It holds up to 20 lbs. of sand and two gallons of water, not included. The eight-piece accessory set includes an umbrella, two bridges, two boats, two pots and one shovel. A durable, one-piece plastic cover keeps the sand clean and dry -- and your little ones, too. Elastic tie-downs on the ends of the lid keep it securely attached. Molded-in roadways on the lid provide an additional play surface. Legs detach so product can be used at ground level. An umbrella is included for shaded play (design and colors may vary). Minimal adult assembly required. Measures 46.5"L x 26"W x 18.25"H.

5 out of 5 stars Yay Sand and Water Table!   December 28, 2008
Ally
My 2 year old loves her Sand and Water Table! We bought this when she was 18 months old to have something to do outside. It has entertained her, her friends, and my older nieces! She will play with it whenever she is outside. I love that she doesn't get sand all over her, in her shoes etc. The umbrella is nice on really hot sunny days and it easily raises and lowers to different levels.

Some things about the table:

Don't cut the black cords on the lid! It keeps the lid on the table.

Sand gets on the water side. The end. Its unavoidable.

Its hard to find plastic cars that fit on the road.






4 out of 5 stars My one year old loved it, but it leaks   December 22, 2008
N. Butler (Orange County, CA)
My son constantly asks to go on the deck to play with his table. I put beans instead of sand, and it works just as good (it's easier to pick up/clean up). The only negative about this table is that the water side leaks at the holes where the legs are connected, the legs are supposed to act as a plug but it is not totally waterproof. The table should be redesigned to not have any holes on the water side. But other than that the table is a lot of fun for toddlers, it keeps them busy for a long time.


5 out of 5 stars Kids love it and stay reasonably clean!   December 17, 2008
Frankie Heinzmann
We bought this for a couple of 2 year olds. Their mothers love it, too. The kids stand beside and play and don't get their pants full of sand like in a sit-in sand box. It is just the right size for these small tots.
Our grand-daughter dipped her hands in the sand then rinsed them in the water. She kept going back and forth -- had a ball while her mother built sandmen! Her mother definitely was a bigger mesh than the two year old!
It is an educational toy if the adults stand around and interact with the children.
It was easy to put together and seems fairly durable. The only problem is that not all the holes were pre-drilled as indicated in the instructions. This is easy to overcome -- just look where the holes should be and press down with your power screwdriver!



4 out of 5 stars Great - keeps my 2-year-old busy for a long time!   November 19, 2008
sucheng (Silicon Valley)
We got this for my son's 2nd birthday in September, and it's been a hit ever since his party, where multiple toddlers were practically fighting to play in it (good thing it came with a selection of toys, plus I threw in a bunch more cups, shovels, bath toys, etc. for them all to share). Unlike most of his toys, it will keep him engrossed for a good half hour at a time, with nary a peep (or "Mommy, come play with me!") We keep it outside, and fill both sides with water, based on the comments here that using both sand and water will lead to messy mixing.... The umbrella has been very useful in our Indian summer heat, and when it gets too cold to keep water in it (my son always ends up a wet mess) I plan to fill it with rice or beans for the winter.
