Product Information

Stagnant water is especially grim! Most tables have plugs through which they can be drained without fuss. The sand and water tubs can usually be removed entirely on simple tables without many attached toys. Plastic is easy to clean with hot soapy water, and if you choose a wooden model, ensure the wood has been treated and maintained every two years. The Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond water table is one of the best water tables for cause-and-effect STEM play and family fun; kids won’t get bored with the many activities and places to play. For a toy that’ll grow with your babies, opt for a versatile option, like this one from Little Tikes. It is short enough for younger kids but not too small or boring for older toddlers, earning our top spot on this roundup. We love that this colorful table has plenty of engaging activities including balls they can drop down a spiral slide, a Ferris wheel that scoops up and drops off balls, a cup to fill and pour down a water wheel, and more. Bigger isn’t always better. If you have a young baby just barely standing, a small, low-profile water table might be the best, and safest, option. But if you have multiple kids or often host playdates, you may want a larger option that suits a wider range of ages and can accommodate more hands simultaneously.

Like a traditional water table, this small wading pool features an interactive play element (three funnel cups and a fun spinning water wheel) that easily attaches to the included umbrella, so you won't have to worry about sunburn on sunny days. While there’s plenty of standing room for splashing fun using your own variety of water-safe toys, the pool also has two seats on either side of the umbrella, so kids can nestle in and play with the included accessories. With all of its interactive features, this pirate ship-inspired water table is sure to keep toddlers and kids of all ages entertained. They can squirt water from the cannon, create currents with the spinner, spin the steering wheel, raise and lower the anchor, play pretend with accessories like pirate characters, a boat, a squirting shark, and a character-sized life preserver—or just generally splash away the day.When it comes to our overall winner, there’s no doubt Mumsnetters love The Early Learning Centre Sand and Water Table. Not only is it a colourful and robust water table that’s suitable for both toddlers and preschool children, but it also comes with two durable waterproof lids for the sand and water sections which not all water tables have. Plus, we love that the lids have a road map carved into them with the option of being used as a play table. The most played with by my 2 DC have been the sand and water table and mud kitchen.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user APurpleSquirrel) Our verdict On a sunny day, chances are you want the kids to get out and play—but the blazing sun isn’t good for delicate baby skin. A water table with an umbrella is a great option to keep everyone cooler and safer. We love the idea of this multi-tasking table. It has two built-in bins for sand, water, or a combination of the two. They’re nestled in the middle of a table that has benches on either side, so kids can sit under the shade of the umbrella while they play.

Despite the seemingly endless activities at the kids’ disposal, this water table is also convenient for parents because it only weighs 10 pounds. Carry it from spot to spot based on the angle of the sun that day, or stash it in your garage when not in use to keep it in prime condition. We have this Little Tikes sand and water table. It's good because it has both plus a lid to keep cats out. Looks a bit random folded closed but is brilliant when unfolded.” (Water table with lid suggested by PurpleCrazyHorse) Our verdict The Little Tikes Anchors Away Sand and Water Table is an excellent toy for sensory development as it has lots of activities such as a water wheel, anchor pulley systems, a squirting cannon and waterfall, plus toys and tools that encourage learning through play.Though a slight departure from your standard water table, this vertical water maze is no less fun. In fact, it’s an arguably more age-appropriate option for older toddlers who need a bit more stimulation to stay busy, since the maze can be assembled and disassembled to their liking. Providing hours upon hours of new and interesting activity, it's a great tool for fostering imagination, while also helping kids understand cause and effect. Definitely get a water table. You can get dual sand and water tables with lids, that's what I'd go for.” (Design of toy suggested by Mumsnet user SarahWoodruff) Our verdict

I know, I know, this is not a table at all… But in certain parts of the world, just splashing is not enough to escape the heat. And anyway, theRainbow Ring Inflatable Play Center is essentially just a water table big enough to climb and play IN, instead of ON. The dazzlingly colorful dual-pool playset comes with a number of inbuilt games as well as a heap of water fun in the form of a slide and hose-attached water sprayer. Time to get wet and go beyond the table! Top Features The sand-water table is an excellent entertaining toy with plenty, fun features that promote cognitive skills and motor skill development. With ample space, multiple toddlers can gather around the sand-water table. Race the characters down twin water slides or put them in the floating inner tubes. Rake sand on the beach with the shovel-rake toy or play in the water with it. The verticle play table design allows multiple kids to play; it’s so much fun for toddlers and kids of different ages and heights to play together. If your little one can’t reach the top, there are enough cool features on each platform to entertain them.Water tables used outside should be constructed from durable materials that can withstand direct sunlight exposure, stable enough on windy days, and survive temperature changes. To make life easier (that's what Mumsnet is here for, after all), we've done the hard work for you and have thoroughly researched the best water tables, so you don't have to. It’s not exactly a table but who can argue with the amount of fun this ‘vertical’ water table will bring. The Waterfall Discovery Wall Playsetis a really cool spin on a traditional water table. With a wide range of (included) easy to insert accessories, kids can explore and create magnificent waterfalls, playing and learning as different pieces interact with the water in different ways. And with two fully-functioning sides, the waterfall playset is a great option for getting kids to work face to face, buildingand playing together. Top Features
