Inspire Hands-On Exploration with Step2 Water Tables, Sensory Tables, and More

At Step2, we believe in the power of water play and sensory exploration to spark creativity, encourage learning, and keep kids engaged for hours. Our collection of water tables for kids, sand tables, and sandboxes is designed to provide endless outdoor fun while supporting early childhood development.

Engaging Play That Supports Growth

Step2’s water tables and sensory tables encourage toddlers and preschoolers to splash, scoop, pour, and explore, helping them to build essential life skills:

• Fine Motor Skills – Pouring water, digging in the sand, and using the included accessories strengthen little hands and fingers.
• Sensory Development – Playing with different textures, from cool water to soft sand, enhances sensory awareness and cognitive growth.
• Social & Cooperative Play – Many of our sand and water tables are designed for multiple children, helping them learn sharing and teamwork.
• STEM Learning – Watching water flow, building sandcastles, and experimenting with cause and effect introduce early science concepts. For more, read our blog on how a water table can boost STEM learning.

FAQs about Step2 Sandboxes & Water Tables

• What type of sand is best for a sandbox or sand table?
We recommend using standard play sand, which is finely ground and specially washed to be safe for children. This can typically be found at hardware or home improvement stores.

• How do I keep animals out of my sandbox?
Many of our sandboxes come with a lid to protect against weather and pests. If you want even more protection, consider mixing in cinnamon or coffee grounds, which can deter animals. Also, regularly check and rack the sand to keep it fresh.

• What age is a water table best for?
Most water tables for kids are designed for toddlers and preschoolers, typically ages 1.5 to 5 years old. However, some models include interactive features that can engage older children as well. Check the product page or instruction manual for more information on age recommendations.

• How do I keep a water table clean?
To keep a water table clean, we recommend using fresh water with every play time. When playtime is done, simply pull the non-leak drain plug and empty the water. Wipe down or let air dry completely before covering or storing. If you need a deeper clean, we recommend using a 50/50 mix of vinegar. For more information on how to clean your Step2 toys, click here.
