Product Information

And many of them are divided into 2 (or more) separated sections, so you can combine (or alternate) the sand play with some water play, too.

Their motor skills are improved thanks to all the pouring and splashing, while language and speech skills develop thanks to their explaining what they’re building and exploring their imagination! Accessories – Some sand tables come with loads of accessories for sand play, such as buckets and spades and moulds and sand mills; others (often the more expensive models, funnily enough) don't come with any accessories. There's limited space for sand (the packaging doesn't specify the container capacity) but the sections are reasonably deep, so it doesn't feel like you're skimping on play value. When your child pours sand – or water – into the red bit at the top, it'll cascade down through little holes to spin the yellow seahorse or 3 spinning wheels on the other side (not visible in our picture).

Always make sure you know what you're getting for your money – the picture on the retail site may show accessories that aren't included or that you need to pay for separately. Liz, mum of our child tester Sophie, 13 months (pictured, above) said, "It's a perfect height for my daughter (she is on the tall side) and she stands and plays independently with it.

This nicely sturdy toddler sand table is divided into 2, so your child can play with both sand and water and, ingeniously, its lid not only has a moulded car track on top, it can be split in half, so that you can keep 1 half of the table covered and the other open for play. It's super simple to assemble and you can change the height of the stand which is great for kids of different ages. It has 2 separate, removable sections, with a little bridge for the dumper truck in the middle, so you can put sand in 1 section and water in the other. Saying that, this table is pretty small and light, so tipping it up to empty it isn't as difficult as it would be with other bigger, heavier tables. It comes with a good set of accessories, including moulds, a spade, bucket and pourer/watering can, but there's really a fairly limited space for sand (the packaging doesn't specify the container capacity but we'd say this table needs the least sand of all the tables in our selection).Sand tables also tend to have lots of great built-in features or add-on accessories that boost the scope – and fun – of the sand play your child can enjoy.

One of the sections has a moulded 'island' in the middle, with slot-in anchor points for the mini-bridge accessories that come with the table, so your child can make some over-the-sand pathways, too. Each year thousands of products are put through their paces by hundreds of parents across the country on behalf of MadeForMums, to ensure we’re bringing you honest and true reviews and recommendations.The sand table is lined and a generous size and depth, though it may be a little on the high side for the smallest toddlers; the smaller water table is also lined, which makes drying it out easier, but we did think the lining was a little on the thin side for continued use by excited young children. Age suitability and size – The height of the sand table is a key consideration because you want your child to be able to reach the play area with comfort (and usually when standing up). It's also wise to check the specs for the table's overall width and depth, especially if your outside space is restricted. It's easy to assemble, with mostly slot-together pieces, but you'll need a screwdriver to secure the legs in place.

Age: 18 months+ | Size: L50cm x W37m x H66cm (with mill)| Material: Plastic | Cover: No | Weight: 1. Perfect for sunny days to entertain the little ones, this colourful Dolu Water and Sand Activity Table is the perfect height for your little ones to have fun. Each section of the table has its own drainage plug, and the lid has elasticated tie-downs at each end, which we particularly rate for keeping everything super weather-tight.

I like all the toys, especially the ones that slot in and it's nice that the cover doubles as a race track. This is a sand table that arrives flat-packed, which means you're going to have to set aside an hour or 2 for assembly.
