This Sand and Water Table is a great way for kids to enjoy tactile play without creating a big mess. The six-inch deep basin on top of the table is designed to hold either water or sand, and even has a drainage plug on the bottom which makes it easier to empty and clean out. When it is filled with sand, kids can enjoy building sand castles or burying and digging up treasure. When filled with water, kids can splash around, make waves and ripples, or play with toy boats. With a 45-inch length, the table is long enough for several small children to play with it at once, leading to friendly or cooperative play. The table has wheels at the bottom of each of its four legs, which makes it easy to move out of the way when it is not in use, and also easier to take outside when it needs to be emptied.
