 Perfect for AZ summers |

| My little guy is having tons of fun with this. He's just 1 and he can't reach the top to pour the water, but he pulls it out and puts it on the ground and has just as much fun. It's a great height and it's perfect for AZ summers when you don't want him to get completely wet. |
Awesome Water Fun, Great Price!

| I bought two of these, one for a gift and one for my kids. Both of them were a hit. We had an unseasonable cold summer, so many pools around here in the Pacific N.W. were not filled up, and these little water tables were great for the days the pool couldn't be filled up. The one we gave as a gift, we found out, was a hit with the kids. The one I gave to my kids was a hit the first week they had it, but soon, it was not being played with. I decided to take some sand from our sandbox and turn this water table into a sand/water table. Of course, you'll want to remove all the toys that came with the table, including the tower. Wow! The sand/water table was a HIT all summer with not only my kids, but cousins and play dates always would gravitate towards this table and play with messing wet sand. All you need are some sand digging tools and sand buckets from the dollar tree, to top it off. Also, you can buy 'Play Sand' from HomeDepot, a big bag for only $3. So if your little ones get bored with just playing with water, try adding sand. |
Our kiddo love this table

| My only complaint is the tower doesn't attach in any way so it is almost never upright because he knocks it over and isn't able to put it back up on his own. He loves to play with this table and it is sturdy and durable from everything I can see. Highly recommended. |
Fun water table.

| My 15 mo. old granddaughter loves this water table. She cannot go outside without playing with it. It doesn't come with too many toys, but a few extra plastic kitchen items is all you need. Perfect size too! |
