Sand and Water Tables

Sand and water tables boost creativity and fun while controlling the mess and spray of play. Designed for every age (even yours), these tables are so clean you can bring the fun indoors. From toddler-sized to towers, we'll fire up your imagination.

Sand tables A sand table is usually a waist-high platform that brings sandbox fun up to your kids, who can stand facing each other around the table to play. They don't have to climb into the sand, filling pockets, shoes, undies (not to mention your washing machine) with itchy grit. Some are small enough for tiny toddlers, others big enough to hold an umbrella, keeping harsh sun off tender skin so your kids can play longer, safer.

Table features

Some sand and water tables are so compact you can fold them up like a suitcase. Bigger tables come with chairs, like a picnic table of play. Table legs detach so that you can set a tabletop at ground level if you want to. Made of durable plastic, most require minimal assembly and maintenance, if any, and wheels help you scoot them out of the way when play is done. Most come with matching table covers, to help keep the sand in and the cat out.

Because they require much less sand than traditional sandboxes, you can splurge on the fancier, colorful play sands too, like the super-sculptable Moon Sand.

Water tables

It's like playing in the sink, only they don't get yelled at. Water tables encourage kids to splash, float boats and dream of seafaring adventures, without trashing your house and yard. (And you get your sink back.) Bigger ones include a valve to let dirty water out.

All together now

Sand and water are a natural pair. Although many tables will hold either, why not get a table that holds both! Separate compartments give you the best of both worlds. Watch your kids circle from station to station, fantasy to fantasy.

Extras

Besides the umbrella, sand and water tables include some great toys: boats, pails, shovels, bridges, special sculpting tools, and even roads for that toy dump truck.
