Product Information

When the weather gets cooler, online reviewers say they place this in the shower for kids to play with (with supervision, of course!). This version comes together a little more easily than other water tables. Hint: For many Step2 toys, the brand intentionally does not pre-drill the screw holes, you're trusted to best align the pieces and use a little downward pressure with either your screwdriver or a screw to get the hole started. If you prefer you can use a small nail and a hammer to create the starter hole. Tap each screw with a hammer to start a hole before you turn each screw into place. The best one offers you versatile usage. For example, parents won’t allow playing with water in cold weather. The water table should also include alternative options to play with, like sand, rice, beans, pasta, grains, and so on. Long-lasting Look for a water table that has fun play features that help kids explore. This may include pouring cups, parts that float, or a waterfall of some sort. Ideally, most of the features will be attached to the table so they won’t get lost or blown away easily. Clean small, hard toys prone to mold with a solution of 1/3 cup bleach to 1 gallon of water. Let toys remain wet for 6 minutes, then rinse and air dry. "Whenever you see mold, a bleach solution is best. That's why they put chlorine in swimming pools," says Home Care & Cleaning Lab Executive Director Carolyn Forte. "If you clean, air-dry and then rinse the toy thoroughly with fresh water, there's no problem using bleach." If the mold doesn't rinse clean, it's time to toss the toy.

One of the most riveting elements it possesses is a spiral slide that looks like something from those water parks with humongous water slides.

Exploring the Wonders of Sand and Water: Our Collection of Tables

Water tables keep kids cool and busy outside by allowing them to splash, pour, and experiment without actually having to be in the water. The best water tables are durable, full of features, like an umbrella for protection from the sun, and accommodate one or multiple children, depending on your needs. Features: Every water table should have a drain plug so you can empty it before you put it away. A cover, lid or umbrella are great to keep the water table protected from collecting debris but will add to the price. If your kids are younger, a few simple features—such as cups to pour and/or a water wheel—will do. But if your kids are a bit older and more active, look for a water table with more to do. Think water mazes, fishing rods, and more. Shall we take a look at the more fun-facilitating features? It has several built-in structures like a diving board, water slide, a side springboard that provides an extra bit of fun by launching the action figures dropped on it into the pool and a water spinner that can be turned vigorously to create whirlpools within the tub.
