This review is from: Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table (Toy)

We purchased after a prior small (3' by 3') sand box was broken in a move. Living in an apartment, we only have small patio space to put our outdoor toys on, and because my son is older now (4) we opted for the table rather than sand box. So far, after having it outside for one month with several rainy days, we've experienced no leaking like other reviewers mentioned. It's great for building sand castles, digging tunnels, etc. My only complaint is that it's a bit shallow (about 4" deep), but this doesn't really stop the fun.

The upside is that is holds one 50 lb. bag of sand, about $4-6 worth. Just a side note: make sure when you are purchasing sand that it is play-grade, and silica-free. Home Depot's store brand of play sand does have silica, you will know that it has silica if there are cancer warnings on the bag. Lowe's offers Silica-free play sand at $5/50 lb. bag.

The bucket and scoops that are included are fun too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, Sturdy Sand (Er, Beans!) Table--Great Value, July 19, 2005

This review is from: Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table (Toy)

We bought this sand table for our three-year-old not to fill with sand but with dried beans so we could use it indoors. We had been filling cookie sheets with beans so his diggers and dump trucks could have an excavation site, but we were constantly picking up dried beans from the floor. This was to be our solution. Well, we're still picking beans up from the floor, but the table is a big hit. It was the favorite activity at our son's three-year-old birthday party when we were confined indoors due to hot and humid weather. I'm sure it will work well if you use it as intended--outdoors and with sand. It's very well built, as we've found all the products in the Naturally Playful Step 2 line to be. The top fits very snugly. I will add that I balked at paying $20-something in shipping charges, so we bought this table directly from the Step 2 web site. It arrived in three days, via Fed Ex, and the shipping charges were less than $10 (I don't remember the exact amount). (I wasn't able to find it in any stores, only online.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Wet Sand, June 9, 2006

This review is from: Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table (Toy)

I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday and she LOVES it. She spends 30 minutes or more playing with the sand. The problem is, the sand gets wet when it rains. We are diligent about securing the lid but the sand still gets wet. Poor design on the corners - no lip around the edges on the corners allows water to get in.
