Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table

Product Information

The best sandboxes are easy to clean because, believe me, your kid will be getting sand (and likely mud) everywhere when they play. As an added bonus, Step2 has molded roadways into the lid of the box, making a brand new play surface for when your little ones get bored with the sand! The plastic legs of the table are able to hold up an impressive 40 lbs of sand; that’s 40 lbs of fun for your kids! This table comes with what is called “storage mode.” A plastic table cover can be used over the play area, equipped with elastic bands to hold it down. This cover is easy enough that children can use it by themselves.

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. The age of your child is something that will be important in determining what sand/water table is right for your home. Toddlers will need a shorter, more friendly table for their size, while a seven or eight year old will have little trouble with any of the options listed, but will more than likely not want something that is toddler-sized.Having a cover available is very important, especially if you’re storing your sand or water table outdoors. Being exposed to the elements can cause mildew or even mold to grow in certain areas of the table. Having moisture and spilled food or other residues can be a breeding ground for mold. Having a lid to cover the table is a good way to prevent this from happening. This outdoor sand and water activity table for toddlers is loaded with tons of sensory play action for your little ones! Kids will have a blast playing with the elevated, two-sided design of this play table. Dig up buried treasure and make sand castles in the sand; and splash around with the included boats and the molded-in roadways on the water side. Toddlers will stay cool and comfortable while they play, thanks to the large 60 in. (152.4 cm.) umbrella centrally located to provide shade at every angle. The activity table’s open design allows multiple toddlers to play together, flexing their sharing, communication, and social skills with friends! When playtime fun is done, cover the activity table with the included lid that features elastic tie-downs for a secure fit. The lid includes molded-in roadways for an extra play surface for mini cars, too! Made in USA of US and imported parts. This set has many moveable and removable pieces, meaning pieces can be removed and lost if misplaced.

The adventure isn’t confined to the sand… Even the lid has moulded-in roadways for added fun, and elastic tie-downs to protect sand from critters and weather! Aside from placement, this box is fantastic! It features four seats in the corners of the molding for children to sit as they play, making it perfect for play dates or a few of your children to play at once. This box comes with a lid/cover that is held on by elastic bands, and the box itself can hold up to 200 lbs of sand! If you’re looking for the most amount of sand held, this box might be for you. None of the pieces are small enough to be harmful to toddlers, making this table one of the safest options for younger kids. It’s almost like having a water park in your very own home! As far as the best kids water table goes, I’d have to give it to Step2’s Cascading Cove Sand and Water Table. My kids can get bored with doing one thing over and over again, so it’s great to have the best of both worlds! Sand and water on both sides help them choose what they’re in the mood or that day, which I love. Not only that, but this table can be used indoors, which is excellent for when it’s winter or the weather isn’t cooperative for my kid’s playtime!We at Activity Toys Direct are proud to be one of the largest retailers of Step2 toys and we take pride in stating we have one of the most extensive ranges of Step2 products. Step2 toys help children develop their social skills through role-play and balance and agility techniques with the riding toys and climbing activities. We have long been a retailer of Step2 toys simply because we believe their toys are supreme in quality, design and above all are hugely fun for children. If you want to save space while offering your child a variety of outdoor play opportunities, look for a sandbox that serves more than one purpose. There are many options with dividers for sand and water play — but be warned, if your kids are anything like mine, the sand and water are unlikely to stay in the correct compartments, and you may end up with a giant mud table. Shade is an important factor if your child is going to be playing outdoors in their sandbox in the hot summer sun. Some sandboxes include a sun shade above them to protect your child from the sun’s harmful rays and keep the sand cool.
