Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table

Product Information

Another potential risk with outdoor sand/water boxes is mold and bacteria. When the sand becomes wet, there is a chance that it could grow certain bacterias that could be harmful to your child. By moving the sand indoors, or taking extra outdoor precautions by purchasing a table with a lid, you can mitigate or remove the chance of bacteria growing on the surface. Holes to fit the legs are not large enough, meaning a drill is necessary for putting this table together. The table is made of a sturdy enough plastic that it can support the weight of an adventurous child who may attempt to climb into it.

There is no need to deny your child a home beach. Here are some tips to help you keep your sandbox clean (3): Why not take two toddler toys and mash them into one? That’s exactly what Step2 has done with their All Around Playtime Canopy House. With both the charm of a toy kitchen set and a sand/water table, this table will have your kid playing pretend chef in no time! A canopy is placed over the top of a cube-like table that has three counters and a set of double doors for entrance. The water side of the table mimics that of a sink, complete with swivel “faucet” that can be filled with water for that feeling of realistic running water. Directly beside the “sink,” there is a small sandbox that includes a shovel. Surrounding those two aspects are tons of accessories and fun little objects that make this table feel more like an entire playhouse than just a table. This table is great for teaching kids the responsibilities of the kitchen in a fun, creative way.

The sandbox comes with four dinosaurs, a shovel/rake, and two scoops to keep little hands busy and minds creative. The children can go off on an adventure to find the molded-in dinosaur bones and footprints. This water table features a circular shape and has three large plastic legs to hold it up. This one is potentially the best water table for toddlers. The best sandbox for your family will depend on several factors. We’ll take a look at a few of these. Space

In some cases during extreme heat or cold, the legs of the table can become flimsy or damaged. Be wary of this if used outdoors. Insects and small animals love playing in the sand, and who knows what germs they’ll deposit in the process. Keep the sandbox covered any time it’s not in use. The cover is not air-tight, meaning water can get in when there is hard rain or harsh winter weather. The Cascading Cove is a versatile table that can be used for either indoor or outdoor playtime. This incredible play set has the best of both worlds, as it offers both a water side AND a sand side, making it double the fun! Roadways have been molded into the top to allow extra playing surface, as well as to separate the two sides of the table. Both sides are large enough for extensive play, and the two can be mixed to make sand wet enough for sand castle production. This table is great for imaginative children, as they will love pretending they are on both land and sea. When using the table outdoors, there is a handy umbrella that can be attached to the table to protect the kiddos from being exposed to the harsh sun, and also keep them cool on hot summer days. If your child changes their favorite type of play on a whim, this table might be the one for you. If you have a table-style sandbox, look for an option with a drain. A table sandbox is also a good idea if you plan on emptying your sandbox regularly or over the winter. Plastic boxes are also easier to wipe clean than wood. AccessoriesSome sandboxes come with extras like benches or sand toys or appeal to the imagination with themed designs such as a pirate ship or sea turtle. These can add an extra layer of fun to your child’s play. Multipurpose Design Each sand and water table that is reviewed here is a variety, ranging from toddler to ten years of age. Be sure to pay attention to the heights and sizes of your water/sand table to be sure it fits with your child’s needs.
