I just bought this table from a friend whose kids had outgrown it and my kids love it. It has been sitting outside my friend's house for years while her kids used it and it still looks brand new. Very durable. Great product. We also have the picnic table with umbrella that we bought new last summer. Step2 has GREAT products!!!!!!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We bought this when our now 7 year old was turning 1. Three kids later and it's still holding up very well and is in excellent condition. My kids LOVE this toy - even the 7 year old spends hours each day with it from the time we set it up in the spring until we bring it back inside the garage for the winter. Very sturdy. Very durable. Easy to clean. Easy to store (you can remove the legs to take up less room).

I don't buy too many new toys for our kids (I'm garage sale queen) and was very hesitant about spending the money on this... but it's been one of the best kid-related purchases we've made.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

This item was the second water table we have bought for our 2 yr old son. This was very sturdy and can withstand the treatment of a toddler! I love the design and the addition of the water plug to let the water out for cleaning. The only thing I would change is the screws to hold in the legs. The "holes" weren't there to put the screws in to hold the legs on. We had to drill into the plastic. More of a bother than anything though I would still recommend this product.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

The fact that the sand box sits off the ground is great and its the perfect height for 2/3 year olds. Also, the lid stays tight on the box so nothing can get in. It's not like the sand boxes when I was a kid.

Since his birthday my grandson has spent hours of imaginative play at this table. Now that the weather is colder we have emptied the water, but it is still his favorite. We are planning to use colored pasta or rice for special holidays - for example: red and green for Christmas; green for St. Patrick's Day; green, gold and purple for Mardi Gras; orange and black for Halloween. Thank you for helping me give him a great present.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

At the time of purchase, my daughter was 8 and my son, 2. They both stay entertained with this for long periods of time. We don't always fill up the water side, as my son dumps large scoops of sand in the water, but they both love it when we do add the water. The only thing I might change is the height of it to accommodate seating. My kids end up kneeling or sitting on a bucket to play. I also love the cover it has on it for rainy weather or the winter season. It is easy to put on and take off - my 8 year old can handle it. It has withstood some strong storms without any signs of wear. Overall, it's been a bit of a lifesaver for my husband and me when we do yard work!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

I really wanted to get a "sensory table" for our son's 2nd birthday. This won hands down. It has been able to be used outside since we had purchased it & he loves using the sand and water at the same time and builds sand castles with it. Even our nieces and nephews (ages 3-11) like to play with it. I can't wait to toss it in our basement this winter and fill it with rice or beans or jello or something. We also purchased the sandbox that has the umbrella and half picnic table that matches this & we are very very happy with that as well. We also own the canopy wagon, an art easel, a toy box, the race car bed, the neat and tidy cottage, and our son loves them all. So, if you're looking these have all been great purchases, we feel. And, his lifestyle grand walk-in kitchen is now on its way! So, we'll tell you how that works out too! Thanks again for another awesome product Step 2!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Our son uses this toy nearly daily. He asks to play with it and gathers the appropriate toys on his own. He is always excited to play with it and it really stimulates his imagination.

Service & Delivery comments:

I would have liked a few more water toys for it and it is difficult to find the right size vehicles to drive on the road. The bridges seem to fall out easily when driven upon- perhaps a snap-in feature rather than just setting on top?

OMG!! My daughter loves this toy. She is only 17 months old and loves to get wet. We just fill it up with water on both sides, since she loves putting things in her mouth, we don't want her putting sand in her mouth. She loves splashing water all over. She would play for hours on this toy if we would let her.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Would have given it a high review - almost perfect, really, except that it LEAKS water on the water table side DOWN the legs and the plug keeps coming open, pouring out all the water, which then pools around my son's feet. most inconvenient, not to mention the re-fill factor for the water.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Ordering directly from Step2 website was very easy and it actually arrived 2 days before the expected ship date. Had a hard time locating the brown color we preferred locally. Ordering what we wanted from the website and [...]. Our 22 mth old son loves to play with the table. The umbrella is wonderful to help keep some of the sun off of him (don't expect complete coverage). We have both sides of the table filled with water as I wanted to avoid the muddy water+sand mess some reviewers mentioned. I was disappointed to see the table leaking from the very start and somehow water got inside the table. There was a hole with a plug underneath the table that did help to get some of the water out from inside. The lid works well and stays on in really windy weather. I read the legs were detachable however you screw the legs on so I would think too much attaching and detaching would widen the screw holes and make the legs less sturdy. Even with the water leaking enough water stays inside for a good time of play. I've been dumping and putting in fresh water each time - approx. using 5-6 gallons to fill both sides. The only place I see where water may come out is where the legs insert into the tables, hoping caulking around those holes will help. I researched a lot of other tables and found that the design of this table despite the leaking issue to be the best choice for us.

I use the entire table just for sand and it works great! I can see my son making a huge mess if I used sand and water. Sand definitely travels between both areas. With sand in both sides there is plenty of room for playing and pouring and moving around as well as multiple kids having plenty of room to play without fighting. I love the cover on it and the umbrella that comes with it! My son is loving it!

This was relatively easy for me to assemble, but only with the help of first drilling pilot (small starter) holes with power drill, then using the screwdriver attachment. No way could it be assembled without those. I didn't even break a nail (don't have week+ to wait around till husband can get to it).No leaks, as others mentioned, kids stay cleaner with this than traditional sandbox.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

I got this for my 2.5 year old, and he loves it. We have spent so many hours playing at it I have lost track. We talk about things and do role play, everything from making different types of food to running tractors through it, to burying 'treasure' like pirates. He doesn't get bored with it, and when we go outside usually it is the first place he heads. The umbrella provides great coverage from the sun. The only suggestion, we used only sand in the whole thing. it is best to use all water or all sand. If you do half and half, be prepared for a lot of mud, mess and clean up. The sand never gets back to it's orignial state. Not really a con, but something to mention. Also, we've had other children over, they love it....lots of cooperation and play and let's the parents talk to each other a little more!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We love this table! We got it when our daughter was close to a year and she used it right away, now that it's summer and she's 15 months she uses it many times a day for endless playtime. When we assembled it we took the advice of another review and put silicone over the part where the legs attached to the table, so that the water does not leak out. This worked great. The only thing we could say negative about this table is that after months of the weight of water and sand...and some hot hot days, the table has begun to bend in the centre (which does not allow for a lot of water to be added now), so we have had to prop up the centre with a wood support. I would do this from the start, as our table is now warped from the heat.

The colors are ugly but it is worth the price and the kids loved it. I thought the umbrella was red but to my disappointment it was brown-yuck. We used the table for my daughter's 1st birthday party and the kids loved it! Con-Messy. Five minutes into playing with it water mixed in with the sand section. The umbrella provided enough shade which is primarily why we purchased the sand/water table. I would highly recommend this table!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

I purchased this sandbox because my 2 year old son's turtle sandbox was leaking. We have had many storms since I set up the new step 2 sand table and it has not yet leaked, The top stays on very well and it looks very nice in our yard. My son loves the roads for his cars. I really love the umbrella, just becareful that heavy winds don't catch it and pick it up. It has blown away a few times but I just dug a small hole in the grass underneath to push it in.
It does get messy, but hey, that's the fun of it. it's like we have a little beach at home!
I also LOVE that it is a table, now my dog can not dig in it while my son plays.
VERY GREAT products Step 2...your the best!

On the advice of another grandparent we purchased this for two of our families. The kids love it and even the older cousins (8 and 10) played with it for hours when they visited. Great hit with everyone. Our families have it on their decks so the children can play with it well within eyesight and and clean up is minimal. Not so certain what they will do in the fall and winter.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We bought this product for our daughter's first birthday because she played with one non-stop at an older child's b-day party. I love the umbrella feature as our yard gets lots of direct sun until late afternoon. My only complaint is that it is difficult to get the sand back into the sand side if children mix the sand with the water (which of course they all do!). The bridges do fall off a lot as some other reviewers indicated but that isn't really a problem for us right now. I might consider glue in the future.

We got this for my 3 yr old, but all 3 children enjoy it. Even my 10 yr old.

My only concern is that within the first week I noticed that the center "bows" out as if the wight of the sand and water is to much.

Maybe if it had a center support leg this would not be an issue.

The lid still fits snug and the bowing has not gotten worse.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We put the table in our backyard and my husband surrounded it with a bed of river rock, so that he would not have to mow around it. It works great, stays put (with the rock around the legs of it), and my son loves playing in it. We also have 3 neighbors who love to come and play with him. They all range in age from 2 to 4, and they all have a ball! The only issue is that you have to be okay with them putting the sand in the water side and vice versa. It always happens, but they still have a ball. The other thing is, you have to expect wet clothes when they are finished. If my son is not wet, he did not play in the sand and water table.

We live on a 3rd floor condo in the city and this fits perfectly on our pack porch. The umbrella is a plus.

Only con is that the legs go into holes that lead directly to the sand/water areas. Creating a bit of water dribble below. A bendable umbrella would be a great new feature.

My 18 mths daughter LOVES playing in this water and sand play table. I debated on getting a regular sand box that she would sit in but I think she likes standing up and playing better now that I have watched her play with this. It is a safe way to have water play too. I LOVE the adjustable height umbrella, as our patio is not covered. Very sturdy material and I'm glad it has a strap down cover to keep it cleaner when not in use. Easy to hose down too. LOTS of fun on a small foot print. Homerun Step2!

My son is enjoying this activity table. I like that he's happy when playing with it, not to mention he's quite the discoverer while using it. He is 19 months old and the summer months here in Nevada get hot, so the water is fun for him to play in. The umbrella doesn't provide shade around the entire table, I wish it did, but that would be my only complaint. I would suggest this item for anyone with toddlers.

I love the fact that this table has a cover (to keep the roaming cats in the area out of the box). The top is a little tough to get on but I can do it. As for the concept of H2O and sand - we only use it as sand.

2 yr old + Sand + Water = MUD!

Mud is not what we were looking for and our daughter doesn't know the difference. We have plenty of other water toys so no biggie.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My son loves this table! He mixes the sand and the water, and buries rocks and other things and "finds" them later. It's a great way to keep him entertained when we are out on the porch, without having to run around after him. Another child or adult can easily play with him, without being crowded. It can be a little messy at times, because of the mix of sand and water, but that's a small price to pay for the enjoyment he gets out of this toy.

It is not only great fun but a real learning toy.

And sometimes my husband or/and I will play with the sand with him and other times, we'll sit back on the patio and relax. He loves to mix the sand and water together. The clean up is not that bad, just hose the table down and rinse off the kids hands. The umbrella is great also for a little bit of shade on those hotter days!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

The sand and water table is great! My toddler can reach it easily and the umbrella keeps the sun from cooking him while he plays. The older children enjoy playing in it alongside the little ones, so it is great as a family play acitivity. My kids love mixing the sand and water. The table is shallow enough that the sand will dry out nicely if it gets wet, but is deep enough for scooping and building and burying. Big enough for at least 4 kids to play at one time!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

I'm a childcare giver for 2-3 yr olds and they love it. It is the first thing they want when we go out to play and someone is at the table the whole time. It is great for 3-4 children to play at a time. I put sand on both sides and they use the bridges and roadways for their trucks. The big legs make it sturdy and the lid has kept it dry and clean inside. The only thing is I wish it was deeper to hold more sand.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

The plastic bridges don't fit into their slots after you put the sand and water in. It seems like the box sags a bit in the middle and so the spaces for the bridges become too small. I noticed my toddler getting frustrated everytime he would take his toy cars over the bridges because they fall into the water, now he doesn't even bother. I'm wondering if the product was actually kid tested before it was made.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Great quality, design, and value. We had another sand table that essentially fell apart over two seasons (cover broke, legs broke, umbrella tattered). We have always liked the Step2 products because of their durability and quality. This sand/water table lives up to our expectations! Our daughter loves the little boats and bridges included. The only drawback was that the holes for the screws were not predrilled and we had to use a drill to help with the assembly. But otherwise, very easy to assemble. Highly recommend this table!

We use this table on our deck to entertain our 18 month old while we are sitting at the adult table. She loves to have both the sand and water to play with. Maybe the only thing missing is something that makes it more interactive, like a water wheel or funnels for the sand to fall through.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

You have to accept that the sand will get into the water and the sand/water will get on the ground. After you accept that, it is a very fun toy for everyone! The bridges do not stay on the water side very well, my husband glued them on to avoid an unhappy toddler. This is the perfect height for 2-3 year olds.

The quality is excellent.
Thanks for such a great and fun product!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We asked for this for my son's 3rd birthday from his grandparents. He loves it! We use it only as a sand table, no water. We have a Step 2 water table and we just keep them separate. We tried it with both sand and water once but they got all mixed up right away. We've had lots of play dates and birthday party and all kids love it. Kids from 18 months through 6 years played on it and were entertained for long periods of time. Love the umbrella and how high it goes to accommodate older children. Also love the lid. We cover it every night and that helps preserve everything. Sand is a mess but such fun and glad we bought it!

I purchased this sand/water table for my 15 month old grand daughter. She has loved every minute of play. We have also had friends over this a 2 & 4 year old and they love it as well. Their favorite part is throwing the sand in the water. Sort of a mess to clean out, but they love it so much. As long as you are not a neat freak and don't care about sand and water getting mixed, you will love this product. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My 20mo loves this sand and water table. It can keep him interested for long stretches burying stuff in the sand, playing cars, splashing the water, and of course...dumping all the sand into the water side. Makes me wish there were more separation between the sides, so it wasn't quite so easy for him. :) The umbrella gives a good amount of shade. We haven't had any of the leaking issues on the water side that others have.

A nice feature would have been adjustable height. My little guy is pretty tall and fascinated by putting his face in the water. With the table being relatively low, it's really easy for him to bend over to plant his face in it. Also he might outgrow the table quicker...but I guess we'll just put it on the ground at that point.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Wow! Bought this table for my 2.5-year-old son, and was happy to find that my 6 and 7 year-old daughters have enjoyed it, too! The table is very attractive in the yard, and is large enough so that all three of the kids can have plenty of room playing around the table (with room to spare). The first day we set it up, we just filled up both sides with water and threw in some measuring cups and a plastic tea set. All 3 kids played with it all day - from 11am-4:30pm while my husband and I sat and looked on. And now, weeks later, it's still the favorite toy of the household. I am so happy that we chose this table - the rectangular shape works great for multiple children.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

I really love the table. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I wish the bridges were somehow attached or popped into place better (my 2 year old keeps handing them to me and gets upset - she thinks they are broken). I also ended up having to put it together with our electric drill. There weren't any screw holes really and when I tried by hand, it was hard and would have taken me forever. Overall, think it is a great table. The umbrella makes it all the better and the ties that hold the cover on are awesome.

i bought this for my 1 year old's 1st birthday. we only put water in it for now because he is just a little young for sand yet. i also babysit 3 others under 2 years old and there is room for all. i wish the umbrella was a little bigger and also wish there was a drain hole on the other side (where the sand goes) because we are using both sides with water-this would make things easier for clean up. otherwise a good product.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My 22 month old granddaughter in DC loves her activity center, her parents says she will play with it for hours. One day a rainstorm came all of the sudden where they had to run inside and no time to put anything away, after the storm, they were amazed how will the umbrella held up and was not damaged.[...]

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My 20 month old LOVES this sand & water table. We have opted to use the whole table as a sand box vs sand/water combo. My ONLY gripe is that the cover is IMPOSSIBLE to latch down....I have to ask my husband to do it for me (this is the ONLY reason for 4 stars instead of 5). Instead of latching it every time we use it, I have begun just placing it on top. So far this has worked and it has not flown off...even in windy conditions. Overall - great purchase.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We purchased this as a birthday gift for our four year old daughter. I had some reservations about the table (size, mess, keeping out insects).

-My daughter is 40in tall and the table is a great height for her...not too tall nor too short.

-She loves mixing the sand and water sides together but, surprisingly, it isn't too difficult to clean up.

-The lid does NOT fully keep out insects, as there are several gaps after the lid is attached. So, far the insects haven't been interested in her sand table. The table has been in use for only a week so only time will tell.

My 22 month old daughter loves playing with this product! She loves to scoop, build and play in the sand. The boats on the water side are her favorite! Even her cousins (ages 3-8 years) enjoy playing with this toy. They all gather around and have a great time!! Worth the $$!!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My son loves this water table, and so do I. I rated it a 3 out of 5 due to the construction. Putting it together was not so fun. All of the screw holes were missing! There was 1 hole on each leg piece, and it didn't line up to the holes on the bottom of the table. Also, the leg holes leak as others have mentioned.

Regardless, my son loves the table! He is only 14 months old, but his daycare has a water table and he liked it so I bought him his own. I love the cover that goes on top of the table. It keeps out dirt and bugs. The umbrella is nice too, but it blew away into the next yard when it was windy.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My 15 month old son loves this sand & water table! He cries when we have to stop playing with it for the day. The only reason that I couldn't give it 5 starts is because it leaks a lot. We fill the water side up in the late afternoon and by the next morning it's empty again. It seems to leak around where the legs go into the table.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

This table is great. It looks good on our nice stone patio, and the kids love it. They get soaked when they play with it, but they have so much fun. I love that it has a large umbrella for sun protection. I have twins, and there is plenty of room for them to both play. Assembly was easy...I just popped the legs on and didn't use the screws. It really doesn't seem to need the screws...and this way, I can just pop the legs off and put them inside the table to store it out of season. It is really sturdy. I love the cover that straps on securely, and again has an attractive outdoor design.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Great toy! The 14 month old twins and their 3 year old sister love to play with this. The sand and water feature makes for a muddy mess but a lot of fun. We liked it so much that we purchased a second one for our weekend home.
I had read reviews saying that the legs were not stable but we have not found this to be true. Other reviews had complained about the sand and water mixing but I believe that this is part of the sensory experience. Nonetheless the complaint is valid. It just isn't something that we found as a negative.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We just received this table yesterday & I was so excited to put it together so my son could play with it today. The umbrellas fits nicely in the center & the green/tan color is so nice. Unfortunately the water leaks down & out the legs so badly that I've already had to fill it up 3 times in just a few hours. There also seems to be a leak in the outside center on the water side as water is steadily running out of that side. Not sure if we will try to caulk it or what?

This is a great toy for my granddaughters ... they look forward to coming to my house just to play with it. If I had one small complaint it's that both sides should be deeper ... I think they would have liked it if neither side had the roadways, just a deep recepticle for the water and the sand.

Love, love, love this table! I am BIG researcher when it comes to childrens toys and after MUCH research I found this is the best one out there. I have a very tall 3 year old and a 1 year old and this entertains for hours! We actually just fill both sides with water (to keep it from getting muddy) and the boys love it!) It's tall enough for the older ones and lots of room for multiple children. I HIGHLY recommend this.

My husband and I purchased the Step 2 Sand Water Activity Center as a Christmas present for our grandchildren, Emma, 3 yrs old and Owen 10 mos. old. My daughter and son-in-law along with their children live in Kentucky and their home has a screened in porch. My daughter had told me that Emma was able to play with the Activity Center for a good part of the winter out on the porch and she loved making flower pots with the sand and she would play for hours with her little friends. We just recently visited them in Kentucky and witnessed the fun Emma was having with her Grandpa playing with the sand and even Owen, who can now stand on his own was able to get a few minutes of play time before he would plop himself down on the floor. This is a product that is sturdy and will last for many years, through many children and is usable for a multiple of seasons.

My 2 year old son just loves to put sand into the water... and onto the ground, too! It really keeps him entertained and holds his attention for more than 5 minutes. Not being a proficient power driller, I had a touch of trouble attaching the legs. Water leaks from the drain plug- probably from sand impeding the seal. All in all I'm glad I bought it.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

This is a great, study outdoor toy. Straightforward assembly, though my husband needed to use an electric drill to make it easy. Is able to withstand a pretty windy area where we live. I like that it comes with a cover to keep out neighborhood cats and leaves. It also comes with a little umbrella, which is a nice touch. However, it'd be nice if you could cover the thing without having to take the umbrella out.

My 18 month old girl loves playing with it, and I like that it's a standing sandbox, so that she doesn't get really sandy when playing. Highly recommended.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My two grandchildren immediately helped me assemble the play table and fill it with water and didn't even need the sand to start playing. The umbrella
is very good for shading the sun and also for carry around the yard to be a cover for our parades. It is an item that moves with ease from the garage: on a rainy day, to the yard: on a sunny day and having the hose handy also--water fun. The table is sturdy and strong as my grandson and his sister got right in and sat to play. He's 40lbs and she is 30lbs. Now I know you don't recommend children in the play table but thought you should know that it stood up to their test!! Oh, the cover closes really well and keeps out unwanted critters.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We purchased this for our 4-year old son and he seems to enjoy the water and sand concept. He loves playing in the water and this is a safe, relatively mess-free form of play for him and his friends. The only downside is that the sand and water mix easily so the water needs to be drained and refilled for "clean" water play. The cover is very useful, every night when we are done playing, my son puts the cover on the table so that the mosquitos don't get into it.

My granddaughter loves this product. She plays with it for hours and finds it very entertaining. The umbrella is a very nice plus which allows you to put it up anywhere. I also like its portability. She plays with it in the back yard or the front. I just move it to where she wants to play for the day and fill it with water and thats it. She is ready for hours of playtime.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My mother has this for my son and I bought one for my friend's daughter. Both children LOVE playing with this - instead of filling it with sand and water - two year olds would just combine the two for a big mess - we made this a sand only table. My son plays for long periods of time with this and the umbrella helps keep it weather friendly and protect him from the harsh sun. Great fun! The lid keeps yucky stuff and rain out very well!

Some online pictures show an older model with different colors. Some people might be disappointed if they think they are receiving the color scheme they saw online, but then receive something different when it arrives at their door.

The Sand and Water Activity Center is providing my daughters, aged one and three, with hours and hours of entertainment and imaginative play. Instead of sitting in front of the TV, they're enjoying each other's company and learning how to share and interact. I sit with them on our deck and just enjoy watching them play together. The sand is a litte messy, but the unit can be used with or without sand.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Although this is a sand and water table, we are just using it as a sand table right now. I love everything about it. The colors and design are neutral and cute. The umbrella provides shade and goes up and down easily and stores simply inside. The lid stays fastened on and the toys included are just the right size. The kids have to stand at the table, but they are having so much fun they don't notice, and having it elevated helps keep them clean, keeps critters out, and makes clean up easy with just a sweep of the broom! I recommend this to any parent whose child(ren) like sand/ water play!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Highly suggest an electric screwdriver. My daughter and I put this together with both children sitting on it. When I got it outside, their attention was immediate and held for a conciderable length of time. The four year old left for a bit to ride her bike, but came back. The two year old was completely engrossed. We couldn't pry him away. He got so cold he was shivering and we could still barely coax him in the house to get warm. It was fun to watch. I wouldn't use this product inside though. The two year old figured out right away how to open up the drain for the water. He opened it up and crawled under it. lol! Too funny. I wouldn't worry about it not coming with an over abundance of toys. The kids have their own ideas. These two took sea shells I had collected in FLA and played with those.

Great product. Only drawback was the directions did not state how firmly to press the legs in. As such, the water side leaked. Ended up fixing the problem with silicone caulk, rather than take it all apart & screw the legs back on.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

Our 2.5 year old was in love with this before we even got it out of the box! It holds just enough sand and combines that with the fun of the water channels. It blends in well with our deck furniture and is still well-loved 3 weeks later. I do wish it were easier to keep the sand out of the water side, but that's more about how our little one plays (she loves to mix them up); the drain on the water side makes it easy to clean up. We had a Step 2 red crab sandbox before, and it was cute, but we had issues with keeping the lid in place and keeping bugs out. This version is great b/c it is off the ground and has handy straps to keep the lid in place when we're not using it (the crab lid was nice and mostly fit, but it would occasionally be shifted out of place, waterlogging the sand and letting in more critters).

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We had this product shipped to my daughter's house so we could give it to my grandson when we went down for a visit. He absolutely loves it. I had read all the reviews which helped us decide. The only reason I only gave it four stars was the directions for assembly. They could have been clearer. We had difficulty screwing the legs on and wound up making an extra hole which has caused a slow leak. Otherwise the assembly was fairly easy. Would recommend it to everyone. We only needed one bag of sand.

We got this play center for my 3 year for his birthday. He loves it! It is very sturdy, does not leak and is easy to clean up when he is finished playing. The umbrella is great to block out the sun and is very easy to put up. The other great thing is the cover. My 3 year old can put the whole thing (can't take down the umbrella yet because he isn't tall enough) away by himself because the cover is lightweight and easy to use. Even my older children like to play with this fun toy, it has provided hours of fun for our family! My only suggestion is to check at your local stores to see if it goes on sale. [...]

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My wife and I wanted to get something outdoor for our son's 2nd birthday, and we decided on a sandbox. We weren't sure whether to get one that sits on the ground or a table one, but seeing as our son enjoys playing with his toys in the house on end tables and such, we decided to get this one. And we're glad we did! It was EASY to setup, the only "difficult" part was installing the screws. There aren't predrilled holes, just small indentations. So you have to work the screws through the plastic. This takes a little elbow grease, maybe 20 minutes, but would have been easier with a drill or the like. The umbrella has a pointed base so it easily stakes into the ground. It was a little windy and it held up just fine. The umbrella will be PERFECT for those hot, 80/90+ degree summer days. We filled up the sand part with 1 50lb bag of Quikrete play sand. We bought it at the local [...] Hardware. The sand is PERFECT! And NOT DUSTY! (the warnings about this sand being unsafe in regards to silica is only if you are inhaling the dust made from it 8 hours a day during industrial use 8 hours). This sand works great with water and our son, it's like the real thing! With some help from his older cousin, he was able to build some sand castles. Also, when the sand gets into the water area, which will happen, you can easily scoop it out, or drain the water and then just put the sand back into the sand part.The lid fastens nicely with elastic cord.I'm glad we bought this, I can see our son having a lot of imaginative play with this as he grows older, and even his 10 year old cousin enjoyed it!

I like that the cover has bungee straps to secure it. We have it set up under a shady tree but it has a nice umbrella if we decide to move it to a sunny area. I think the kids will get many years of fun playing with this sand/water table. Thanks Step2 for another great product!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My one year old daughter loves this! it is so easy to fill, we just use her sand bucket to scoop water from the pool two is all it takes. The plug has not leaked, the cover fits nicely to keep sand clean - we drain the water after each use. We have the new one with the green and tan flowers it is an attractive toy. we have had friends over with older kids they seemed to enjoy playing with it also. the umbrella is big so it shades a large area a definite plus. if your an outdoors family like us, than this is the toy for you.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

We live in a second floor condo and were looking for a fun toy that our son could use on our balcony. This product has been wonderful except for one small detail - the water side of the table seems to leak. This would definitely not be an issue for those who would use it on the lawn or patio in their backyard, but it's a bit of a disappointment for us (and our downstairs neighbor!). And as soon as we have a lawn of our own, this disappointment will dissolve, too! :) I've heard that some people fill both sides with sand OR water - so it has options, as well. So far, we think we've made a very good purchase!

This is another great product from Step2. We decided to use it entirely as a sandbox. Our two year old liked dumping the sand into the water and it really made for a mess. It works great as a sandbox table on our deck.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

I bought this sandbox for my grandtwins age 20 months. They love playing in it. I love the fact that it is on legs so they can't go in it. The only complaint I have is how the sand gets thrown into the water then you have to clean it out and let the sand dry out in the sun. I think I'll either fill it with just water or sand to avoid the mess other than that they love playing with it. The umbrella also is an extra good feature to keep the sun out of their face.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

WOW!! My 20 month old son loves this toy!!! Best money I have ever spent on a toy. We set this up on our deck and he plays with it every single day....several times a day and for at least an hour at a time without getting bored. Yes, it is messy and the sand and water get all mixed up but that is why he loves it--We just put him out there in his diaper only and rinse him off when he is done--GREAT PRODUCT!! Only minor complaint....screws were very difficult to get started without predrilled holes..I ended up using an icepick to start the hole which made it go faster.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

It was easy to assemble, but using my electric screwdriver was helpful. Some reviews said the water portion leaked, but I didn't find that to be a problem since it was minor and I would only use the water one time and not save it for another day. The height is perfect for my 4 year old grandson and his 15 month old sister, and the umbrella makes it comfortable for them in the sun. It's a great way for them to play without worrying about too much water and having them sit in the sand, which is always messy for those in diapers.

[...] The playful sand/water activity center kept our two year old grandson busy for over an hour at a time! Sure he doesn't know enough to keep the water out of the sand or vice versa.....but in his words.."WONDERFUL". Yes, he's a very bright two year old! The front porch has vinyl railings and we centered the activity center so he can't leave the porch without trying to pass an adult that is sitting at the sidewalk opening. Just perfect!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My 2 year old son loves his sand and water activity center. I like that it was easy to set up, comes with an umbrella and has a cover that stays on securily (we have a lot of neighborhood cats). Yes, the sand and water do get mixed up as some people mentioned, but so what, he is having a blast with it. (One person suggested using only all sand or all water, if the mixing bugs you.) The only suggestion I would make is to put a drain plug on both ends of the table, instead of just on one side. I would purchase this item again.

My 2 1/2 year old loves this table! Although he has made a mess of the sand and water, he plays with it every day. The table was easy to put together and is very sturdy. The umbrella is well made and fits snugly into the center hole. The cover fastens securely with bands on each side and is great for those times when you need to keep pets, children, or inclement weather away!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

I couldn't be happier with this sand water box. My 19 month old daughter plays with it everyday for an extended length of time. This is one of the only toys that will entertain her for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time, and she has a LOT of different toys. It's large enough for 2-4 kids to play at a time without getting in each others way. It's very sturdy. We've had a few big storms since we set it up and have not had any problems. This is by far one of the best purchases I've made in a long time!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

I bought this table for my daughter's 3rd birthday. So far, I like it except for the fact that water leaks down the legs and completely drains the water side within minutes. I even made sure to put the legs and rubber seals on as tightly as possible when assembling it because I read some reviews that leaking could occur. My daughter loves it though. I may call Step 2 to order new plugs but I don't really see how that's going to help. I just really don't understand why it's made with those holes there. Couldn't legs be securely attached without putting holes there? The petroleum jelly idea is out because it's already put together. I intend to go get some clear silicone caulk and try that.

Also, unless I don't understand the meaning of pre-drilled holes, they were not present. There is only a small indent where the hole should be. With a little elbow grease I was able to get the screw in.

My daughter has mixed the sand and water together which is kind of a pain but that's not Step 2's fault.

Although, I have much to complain about in this review, I do like the table and think my daughter will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. It just has a few flaws that hopefully they can improve on in future models.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

My 15 month old son looks forward to playing with his sand/water table any time we go outside. He seems to prefer the water side more, and ends up soaking wet from all the splashing fun he has :o) This toy can get messy when sand and water mix, but in my opinion part of play involves learning about different textures, even if things get messy! I love that the cover fits onto the table so tightly- I never have to worry about critters/bugs getting inside. The umbrella is great for shade too- I placed an old flower pot with sand in it under the table, so that when we place the umbrella in the table it has a more sturdy base.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Water Activity Center:

May be recommended for older children who can make sand sculptures etc. Younger children tend to take the sand and spread it everywhere. (including fish pond, inside house, pool, anyplace not intended for sand). The product seems durable therefore should last for years if bought early.
