***SHELL SAND AND WATER TRAY*** Before I review this product I would like to tell you the circumstances it was used for. My parents owned a nursery for children from 3 months up to about eight years however older children did come during the holidays. Unfortunately we had to move house due to work changes and me and my sister moving schools. During the summer the children loved playing outside and who can blame them with the garden which was half an acre of open land (don't worry it could all be seen so children did not go missing!). Now my father decided to purchase a plastic tub and fill it with sand. He then built a stand for it to be put on ...  Read the complete review

One of my sons birthdays are in April and the year before last on his 3rd birthday he got a sand and water table from his nanna. I have had these tables in the past for my elder two boys and they always had lot's of enjoyment out of them, so I knew that this would get plenty of use. In my previous house we had a large front garden so this was kept there and whenever the weather was nice I would get this ready for my son to play with. The table we have is plastic, the legs are orange, the actual sand/water bit is lime green and it comes with a handy blue lid. It is square(ish) in shape although the bits where the sand and water go are 2 half ...  Read the complete review

Simply brilliant!! This table is split into two halves, both have plugs at the bottom for easy emptying. I tend to have half water/half sand, although it doesn't last for long once my 2yr old starts to play, he tends to mix them up, to make "sloppy sand". This table comes with its own cover, and even some play equipment, eg. spade, bucket, rake, watering can etc. A similar table in ELC sells for the same price, but then it doesn't include these items. The only thing needed to buy is the sand. When my son has finished playing, I simply empty the water by pulling out the plug, and then put the cover on. I leave the ...  Read the complete review

This is a pretty good table despite what I said earlier about sticky messes. It is shaped like a square which is cut out on the top to provide a bowl effect. It is then split diagonally to provide two triangle shaped insets. The idea in the Argos catolouge is to have sand in one side and water in the other but this for me was a huge no no after the first two times of using it. My kids just mixed the two up to the extent that nothing could be salvaged and we had to tip out and start again. The rest of the table is really good and solid. The four legs which support it are thick and strong. My kids climb into the actual table and although they may lose ...  Read the complete review

Outdoor fun is essential for a child and this piece of apperatus is great. I have found children love sand and water and mixed together is a bonus in their eyes even if it turns out messy for us. The first time I saw this it was at my sons nursery and when they had their play time all the children used to be surrounding it. So my farther invested in one for his garden. I am not sure who got more fun out of it my son or his grandfather. It stood just over half a meter tall on 4 yellow legs, with a green tray on top that is split diagonally in 2 halves. One side is for sand the other side is for water. There is a plug in the bottom so that the ...  Read the complete review
