WaterWheel Play Table5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy, A lot of Value

Ourkids LOVE this toy, from 18 months, 3 years, to 9 years. Most children love to play with water, and this table is a great way for them to play safely. This water table quality built and the accessories with it are really nice. It teaches cause & effect to little ones, and older kids can play make their dolls swim in imaginative play, or everyone can have fun splashing and cooling off. You can set it up in the yard or on the deck or a patio. Best of all, it’s dirt cheap. I just wish we could have found it in a store, instead of just online. I Definitely recommend it for all parents with young ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect WaterWheel Play Table

This is the best water toy I have seen. My two year old loves playing in water and now she can play year round if she wants to! I like this a lot more than the sand and water play sets. I also like that it’s small enough to store but large enough to have my daughters friends play with it too. It’s really easy to clean and even if it gets stuck in the rain or mud all I have to do is spray it with the water hose. It makes a great birthday or Christmas gift because it’s so cheap.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot More Fun Than You’d Think

My two and a half year old daughter is a water baby. She loves everything about water in every form and has been since she took her first bath. She loves sand too so we checked out a few of the combination tables – but I thought that they would get too messy and be too difficult to empty and keep the sand clean on our roof top deck.

We got this table for her for her 2nd birthday. When it arrived, my husband thought it didn’t look as fun as he had pictured it being…but we can’t keep her away from it. Give her a few cups and other water-proof toys and she will fill them up and pour them out and splash around for hours.

My only gripe is that the boats that are included do not float very well. And it may be hard to determine the “educational value” unless you really look for it…but just learning the way water works, what happens when you pour it into something that has a hole in it, what does the water wheel do when water flows over it, and what happens when you try to pick water up in your hand.  At this age – everything is a learning experience.

The two spouts on the bottom make for easy emptying of the two areas. None of the pieces have broken even after being thrown and dragged around.

5.0 out of 5 stars We Highly recommend the Step 2 Waterwheel!

We just bought this for our 20 month-old two weeks ago and he absolutely loves it. He plays with it for hours, something he has never done with any other toy. The first thing he wants to do when he wakes up in the morning is go outside and play in the water. It’s very durable, easy to clean, and has lots of options — you can add bubbles, sand, shaving cream..whatever. With the exception of bad weather, we’ve used it practically every day since it was bought. (The reason I didn’t go for a water/sand table is because he already has a sand box, but even if he didn’t, I would still go for this).
