Splash Up With Your "Play Up"!

Now that spring is here and summer is just around the corner, one children's toy that I really like is the Step 2 "Play Up Adjustable Sand & Water Table".

This sand and water table is very simple & quick to set up. It is recommended for ages 2 and up, comes in 2 height levels, allowing it to grow with your child. It has an adorable colorful umbrella which attaches to the table, providing for some sun protection, depending on how it is positioned with the sun's rays. It has two compartments, 1 for 10 pounds of sand and 1 for - you guessed it, LOL – 3 gallons of water!

Included with the table are some little plastic boats, a mini shovel & rake, as well as 2 little pots with holes in the bottom to entertain toddlers & preschoolers. There are also 2 removable little bridges on one end of the table which connect to a path. The path leads into the other side, so your child can drive their boat (or other small waterproof toy) onto the sand, and then back around into water.
I love the fact that it also has a securable lid to keep debris out of the water, and also to keep the local cat in your neighborhood from doing its business in the sand. You wouldn't want your little one finding any "surprises" in there. LOL

There are drain plugs on both sides, making it easy to empty out, especially when it comes to the sand. I found it to be quite sturdy and my little guy genuinely enjoys playing with it. The other plus about this table is that if you need to place it where sand would not be appropriate (because let's face it - which toddler doesn't like to dump, spill & throw things! LOL), you can fill both sides with water instead!

There are 2 things to keep in mind with this play table. First, the sand does not come with the table, so it needs to be purchased separately. Second, the umbrella is not secured underneath the table, so it is important to take it out if it is windy outside, or it could blow upwards and out of the table.

The Step 2 Play Up Sand & Water Table retails for approximately $99.99 in Canada, and approximately $69.99 in the U.S.
