20 Best Water Table For Toddlers (2023 Updated)

It’s not a big deal but the instructions are printed so dark it’s hard to see the pictures and where it says to put the screws there are no holes so I had to drill them in. The plastic is soft so it doesn’t take a lot of force to get the screw in.

I didn’t even use a bit. It’s sturdy enough that my 2 and 4 year olds climbed up into it and it didn’t wobble. They loved it. It’s too cold to play with water so I have them playing with some kinetic sand and play doh in it.

I bought this about 2 weeks ago for my toddler this summer it is a good height for younger kids that don’t have a ton of activities outside. My daughter loves anything with water. Putting this together was a bit of a pain as there are not pre drilled holes for the screws which seems so silly to me.

Everything else about the table is great. It seems very study. Fun accessories included. Drain for water on under part of table. Overall it is great and enjoyable.

Bought as a birthday gift. I live abroad so haven’t seen it in person yet, but my niece has been asking to play with it every day since she got it (even in the rain!) so it seems to be a hit. My brother mentioned that it was quite fiddly to put together, but now it’s made it seems very sturdy and hopefully should last a long time.

I would have given it 5 stars except for the price – I don’t mind paying a bit more for quality, but it still seems way out of proportion for such a simple toy.

I read alot of reviews. the box came smashed up but product was perfectly fine. Quick to put together. My one year old has a blast splashing and catching the frogs. Plug leaked at first but after letting water sit in it overnight it expanded the plug and no leaks! Read the instructions when trying to put the plug in!.

We are absolutely in love with this new way for the kiddos to play. We are out in the yard the majority of everyday. We live in Florida and even in May it’s already extremely hot. This wonderful toy has made it extremely more tolerable for the toddlers to enjoy their time in the sun.

It’s big enough to where both kids can play and enjoy the table without fussing or fighting. The quality and materials are awesome and it’s sure to stand up in all of the weather conditions we face here in Florida.

We absolutely love it! Highly recommend!.

This was relatively easy to assemble- it took a little over 30 minutes. My 2 1/2 year old loves it! The table/splash pad combo makes it really versatile and more fun overall. I wish more of them came with a splash pad.

Took me awhile to find one of these of decent quality at a decent price. Was relatively easy to put together. The umbrella is well made. Good sturdy wood, definitely wouldn’t support an adult’s weight, so just a little part of me wishes it was even sturdier so I could squeeze next to my kiddos sometimes to help them out, but I guess I just don’t belong there ;p It could also use a finish, but that can be done yourself at home.

Kids LOVE to dig in the sand and water and make messes, I set this up above the sandbox so the sand falling off goes right back into the sandbox. Kids love it, hours of entertainment.

This has been a great little table for my 2 & 4 year old grands! Love that it can be used for play or eating. My only criticism is that the wood was unfinished so I put a coat urethane on it to protect it from paint, markers, slime, goo, wet dirt/sand and all the other abuses it has endured.

We use the umbrella for sun AND rain play so this table has taken a beating. It has gone through a year of use and still looks good. but only because of that coat of urethane.

I purchased this picnic table & umbrella for my granddaughter’s birthday ~ she turned 4 years old on 3/22/2020. My daughter and I put the picnic table together within about 40 minutes. Both my granddaughters love it ~ however, my 6 year old granddaughter barely fits on the panel seat.

This is a rather limited picnic table in terms of who will sit at it but perfect for a 4 year old. My daughter and son-in-law plan to stain the wood and then possibly varnish it ~ maybe the girls will paint flowers on it.

I doubt it will last more than a season or possibly 2 depending on weather and usage. The umbrella, which really is the most compelling feature of the entire ensemble is very flimsy and may not last more than a couple months.

I would love to see more products like these on Best Choice but of a higher and sturdier qualility. I would be happy to pay MORE for a more durable product.

When putting together this item, the instructions state that a screwdriver is needed. However, none of the holes were pre-drilled. This is super inconvenient for someone who doesn’t have access to a drill.

That was the only way those screws would be able to go through. Once finally getting this item together, I noticed some toys that were supposed to come with it were missing. For the price, this item is definitely not worth it.

I am so upset and disappointed with this purchase.

This table came quickly and I was able to put it together quickly. It’s beautiful and sturdy like every other Step2 product I’ve ever purchased. It’s still too cold in NY for me to place this outside with water, so it’s currently in my living room.

The grands play with it for hours even without water. It’s adorable and has so many accessories. I cannot wait until the weather is warmer and we can take this outside and add water. This is their 3rd Step2 water table.

We use one to them for sand and that gets played with every visit. The other is currently empty waiting for the warmer weather. The only bad thing I can say about Step2 products is that your kids will outgrow them before they wear out! And that’s not bad at all! LOVE STEP2 !!!!.

The activity table exceed my expectations. My kids love this toy! There is so much to do they never get bored, they love the water canal portion where they can float the boats and balls around. It they also love the car track as well.

Excitement shines when they drop the balls through the hoops into the roadway and water, the hoop above the roadway is lined up perfectly for the ball to drop right into one of the cars or helicopter but also for it to roll down through the hoop in the middle of the roadway and into the water.

The two spinning wheels have kept my kids laughing as the water splashes and waves around the table, they realized they were about to form a currant in the water by spinning the wheel in the water. They sent the boat and balls moving through the lazy river and had great discovery through playing with that.

The height of the table is perfect for kids that are 1-1 1/2 years old they can reach all components with ease but it is not too small either. My 4 year old even enjoyed playing with this table. One thing I would have liked changed was for assembly, it would have been easier if the holes for screws were predrilled; I found it hard to get the screws to go through the plastic with a hand screw driver.

Pros: Super easy to assemble. If you know how to match shapes with the same shapes you don’t need the instructions. Folds easy for storage. Has a few fun spiny things and buckets like most water tables.

Has an upper deck where water trickles down. Did I mention fit folds for storage? Cons: The top part comes off for storage and doesn’t stay attached. I was anticipating this thing to fold up with the click of a button like my stepping stool but there’s a little more work than that.

However, still super easy. This is the second water table we’ve had. The first one was a large round one with some attachments for balls to twist down and whatnot. This one is more practical, did I mention it folds for storage, and my kiddos use it more than the big one.

Sometimes simpler is better.

I got this table for my Grandchildren ages 5 and 3 and they absolutely love it. I use it both outside and inside when they come over. If you use it inside with water just make sure you put towels down.

Water doesn’t have to be used inside because my grandkids just like putting their toys in it. Outside they have a blast and play for hours. Sometimes its hard to get them to come inside. This was one of the best things I could have gotten for them.

Its easy to assemble and easy to move around. It its very sturdy too because at times they can be a bit rough with it. I am very happy with all the little tikes products I have gotten over the years.

Really pleased with our purchase so far! My 12 month old is loving it. Lots of other water tables have more bells and whistles for sure, but the fact that this one folds was necessary for us and our limited storage space for such things.

Now we are having a good time filling it with fun things and getting creative with it! I might suggest watching the assembly video rather than reading the written instructions. One step in particular was worded poorly.

This product was poorly made. The legs would not “snap” on, therefore making it wobbly. Then, my 16 month old litte girl took of the water shoot all by herself breaking the very small lip that “snaps” this part on.

Therefore, because this less than 1/8 of an inch was snapped off, it was unable to be put back in place. All this occurred on the first use!! Unfortunately, I threw out the box so could not return it.

My husband decided to epoxy glue it back on with gorilla glue. And, that did not hold. So we basically have a piece of junk left. A waste of money and disappointing!! If no stars was an option, I would give it no stars.

We bought this as a birthday gift for our three year old. He has two older brothers so we liked that all three could play with this together. Similar to other reviews, the biggest issue we found with this water table is regulating the pressure of the water sprayers.

They either shoot hard jets of water or a soft flow but finding the sweet spot in between is virtually impossible. And the issue is hugely amplified when you use more than one sprayer at a time. I also wish there were more features when using the table with the water turned off.

Once you’ve played with the sprayers a bit and the table is full of water it would be great if there was something in the middle you could pour water into or something. Despite everything, we’ve had lots of fun playing with this and feel it was definitely a worthwhile purchase.

My son recieved this table as a gift for his 1st birthday over winter. Now that it is finally warm out, I put it together (super simple) and he has a blast with it! So do I! So awesome to see a water arcade style toy (plus it’s a water table!) The old Fisher Price Arcade Sprinkler was so much fun when I was a young child, I wish I could have had it for my kids.

With this water table, that wish came true! Very much recommend this toy!.

We had seven children between 1 and 11 playing with this on our patio for ages. In the end we had to call them off to thaw out! The bigger ones shot one another (and any adult they could reach,) and the little ones splashed in the tray.

Dont leave little ones unattended as my three year old grandson climbed in it and it fell over and gave him a shock. Well worth the money and the delivery was unbelievably quick.

This table is very cute. It is small, but works for a toddler. I am very happy with the small size. I can move this around easily, and take to Grandmas due to the small size. I appreciate that it’s small, it makes emptying the water out easier.

I like the fact that it came with a few toys. I feel this is a good value for the price.

While this table is definitely small and very short, it is perfect for our apartment’s balcony. I do not have room for a large sensory table. I filled one side up with sensory beads and one side with sand.

My 22 month old daughter loves playing with this toy. The accessories and lid were a nice addition.

Great indoor and outdoor play area for our 15 mo. old girl. We placed on a plastic table cloth in the kitchen, added some water and small potatoes. and she played for almost an hour, while I fixed dinner.

Sits low to the ground so my kids can just sit on the ground while playing. It’s perfect for the space. Could be a little cheaper.

East to put together. much smaller than expected but holds sand and had a lid. My daughter loves this table.

My 2 year old absolutely loved receiving this for her birthday. My 4 year old also loved playing with it too. It’s really sturdy. Nice chunky plastic. The plug is very good. Easy to let the water out.

I love the fact that it has two sections. So you can put sand in one side with small world animals and water in the other side with boats Or sea creatures etc. The Little parasol Is a nice feature too.

You don’t have to worry about moving it around the garden to a shady spot. Just pop the parasol up. It’s only a lightweight one so is best to remove it and store it inside when not in use otherwise I think it would get weathered.

The lid of the water tray also has really handy elasticated hooks to hook it onto the tray, meaning it won’t blow off. Another excellent feature! A bit more expensive than other water trays about but it was 100% worth the money and worth paying out that little bit more to get something decent that will last.

I bought this for my 2 year old grandson hoping to keep him busy and happy outside this spring and summer. Already it is accomplishing that. It was easy to assemble and I’m so glad I got this one with the umbrella.

Even though it was meant to block the sun, it’s also come in handy with the light rain today. Especially when he was most insistent that he needed to get outside. I’m purchasing some more toys for it but he loves everything it comes with.

It’s construction is strong enough for kids at the moment so I hope it lasts.

We bought the Cascading Cove Sand & Water Table for when our 16-month old granddaughter comes to visit. She enjoys playing in the sand and splashing in the water. The umbrella provides a nice bit of shade for her too.

It seems to be well made. We like that it has a cover, is easy to drain, clean and move around. My husband assembled it while I was at work and said it was easy to put together. Shipping was very quick – within a week of the order.

I bought this a few weeks ago and it is so tiny. I thought it would be the size of a normal water table but it is so small! It doesn’t stand up that high. For the kids to play with it I had to set it in our old water table to play with.

The picture of the kids playing with it doesn’t give it an accurate dimension of the pirate water table. I kept it because the kids did enjoy it but it wasn’t worth the money in my opinion.

This water table is definitely good for aToddler. It is very very small. My grandson is a little 4 yr old (still wears 3T) And it is too small for him and maybe 2 children can play at a time with it but no more.

I’ve seen many others where 3 – 4 kids can play at a time.

Overall I like it. Definitely smaller than I expected compared to other water tables I?ve seen. I love the pirate ship though and it works good. Really easy to put together.

Thank you to Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program. I think this is an excellent product and a great investment in a toy. I am always looking for toys that engage my children and will encourage them to play on their own and use their imaginations.

This product is all that and more! My almost two year old daughter loves this table so much! I was having trouble finding a toy that she likes enough to play with on her own since I cannot play with her all of the time (I have a six month old to attend to).

My daughter immediately loved this toy even before I filled it with water. She loves all of the little toy accessories that came with it (the little boy and girl, fish, dolphin) and was giving them kisses! She is not usually a get dirty or get anything on her kind of girl, so I thought she would just splash a little bit and keep the toys on top of the water.

Well she just loved scooping the water and moving it from the top table part to the bottom table! She was soaked and she didn’t care because she was having so much fun! The most fun parts to this toy are the diving board, which works really well and the sling shot that also works really well.

I could see older children really having fun with this toy especially for those parts. It is a great size for a few children to play on and I will be using it as a main attraction at my daughter’s birthday party in a few weeks.

The umbrella is cute, but doesn’t seem to really provide much shade, but that didn’t matter to my daughter at all who loves any reason to wear her sunglasses. Assembly was easy and only took about a half an hour to put together-we had to use power tools because there were not holes for the screws.

Overall, I can see my daughter using this toy every time we play outside and being engaged for a long time too. Had I not been selected as a toy tester, I honestly can say that I would have still invested my money into this toy (and happily too)!.

Really great splash table. It is a lot shorter than it looked in the photos. My 1 year old is able to crawl onto/ into it, which is both comical and terrifying at the same time. There is no drain/plug to let water out, so you have to dump the entire table over, which is extra wide (so not super easy).

That being said, my kids spent two hours non-stop playing with it for the first time, and wanted to keep playing! Definitely a hit!! They love the people that came with it too. The umbrella is an added feature, although it doesn’t create much shade.

My kids think it’s amazing, and that’s all that matters!.

Bought this for my grandson’s birthday and it was a real hit. He absolutely loves playing at the water play table. Only wish I had bought it a week later when I saw that it was $69 instead of the marked price of $150.

This table is a great hit not only for little boys but their sisters as well. For the little boys who are mad about cars, trucks and all sorts of machinery this is a definite must.

Bought this for my 2 Year old sons birthday. He used it relentlessly all summer al the cottage. Looks great and lasts. Quality product!

This is, in my opinion, a must have to any toddlers/young children for spring and summer. I purchased my first step 2 water table when my oldest was just a year old and she has loved it ever since. Not having a drain doesn’t bother me since we have lots of space in our backyard to dump the water out but i can see how it would be a problem for people who has small yard or parents who want to use this table on their deck only.

Otherwise, I can’t recommend it enough. It keeps my kids entertained for hours and hours. Get more water toys ( i purchased battery operated octopuses and fishes to put in there ), more cups and voilà ! Your kid will have a blast all summer long.

My now 4 years still plays with it every single day.

There is something magical about a water table. My son and his cousins spent hours playing with this water table. Their imagination run wild and they created all sorts of games. We did have to refill it a few times as many of the game revolved around pouring the water out.

The table was very stable. Over the course of the summer there is a little bit of sun bleaching of the color but it does not affect how the table works. Highly recommend for the backyard.

I bought this water table for the hot summer. My son can not go anywhere because of COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, I bought this water table and he enjoyed it very much! He can spend hours on it. Also, it’s very easy to install, less than 10 mins.

The instruction is very clear, the quality is durable, and the stool is light. You can use it as a water table or beach table. It’s a very functional toy for kids!.

Its a little shorter than I was expecting but its fantastic, great value for money and the bubbas love it! Its nice and colourful and so many great little extras to go with it. I definitely recommend this.

I’m very happy with this purchase. My 18month old loves it. He especially loves to play with all the little toys that come with it. He even brings them into the bath with him.

Smaller than pictured in the image. Sturdy and colourful but height is an issue as it is very low. Not all moving parts move when water is poured as pictured. Nevertheless daughter loves to splash her hands in it and touch the raised images of sea creatures in the bottom of the tub.
