Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table

Product Information

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.

This table is considered a “playhouse” because of its size. This is meant for outdoors but can be placed in the house in a larger playroom. The best sandboxes are easy to clean because, believe me, your kid will be getting sand (and likely mud) everywhere when they play.

This Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table is a raised sandbox for toddlers perfect for small indoor or outdoor play areas! Sand play helps children enhance their fine motor skills as they dig and build castles with friends. Plus, sensory play is a great way for toddlers to learn more about the world through sight, sound, and touch. Whether it’s filled with sand or taken indoors to use with macaroni or beans, this sandbox table design is versatile enough to explore many ways to play. The elevated design lets little ones stand up as they get crafty in the sand, while the lid with elastic tie-downs provides an additional play surface! Made in USA of US and imported parts. Lid with elastic tie-downs protects sand from potential critters, and the molded roadways provide an additional play surface while covered.

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! 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. If you have no yard but your child is crazy for that sensory sand experience, try an indoor sandbox. There are plenty of Kinetic Sand kits for play on the table (or floor if you don’t have carpet) that you can store away when not in use. Cover Lid is shaped like a turtle shell, and will help to keep out any unwanted things from the sand or water inside.

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. 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. 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.

If you plan to put it indoors, the size of the table will come into play once more, as a larger table may not be able to fit inside certain rooms. It is also important to be aware of the ground where the table will be. If you don’t want water or sand on your nice, clean floors, finding one that fits in the bathtub might be your best option. What to look for while shopping for water tables and sand tables 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.Step2 produces a range of products that cater for young children who like to enjoy being young and not have to worry about things breaking!
