Little Tikes Sand and Sea Play Table

My 2 toddlers played a lot with this table last summer, and probably will again this spring/summer.Surprisingly the sand side was more of a hit than the water side.Be forewarned that their favorite activity was dumping sand from the table to the ground despite my frequent demands to the contrary.If we weren't in a rental, an actual ground level sandbox would be better...

After one season outside, the umbrella looked pretty dirty, though cleaned up nicely with bleach.

The table was simple to put together with one exception.There are screws to hold the legs to the table, but you can't screw through the hard plastic.I had to hammer them in, plus the box was missing one, so I had to order a replacement.

Very disappointed with this product. It is a cute concept, but the first day we had it, the dye from the lids leaked all over. I'm sure that can't be too safe, probably toxic. Every time the lid for the crab would get wet we would have yellow dye all over our deck. Also the water would not stay in, it leaked out within minutes. Very cheaply made!! The lids don't stay on well either. I usually like Little Tykes products, but this one is not made well. I am returning it for something else.

First the Cons: Installation was not easy but it was not hard either. I needed a drill and a screw driver. The lids could have been a little sturdier. The Water plug does not drain all the water.

Now the Pros: My Son absolutely loves playing in it. He is 19 months and it is a hit on play dates. I can't keep the sand and the water sections open at the same time as the sand will end up in the water and vice versa. Bottom line is that it keeps him occupied and interested and he loves it.

We got this for my daughter's second birthday and it's a huge hit! I like every single thing about it and more importantly, she does! The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star review is that there are no screw holes to attach the legs, you have to screw through the plastic and that took forever! Either use a power drill or plan to spend a long time (they're long screws) putting the legs on! Aside from that, it survived quite abit of rough housing at her birthday from all the kids and took it like a champ! We have ours on our patio and it's not too big and bulky and yet 5 kids (little kidstoddlers and preschoolers) played with it at the same time! I would also note that it's pretty short. It's perfect for little kiddos, but I think a 5 year old would need to sit down to use it!

I think I worked out why some people had so much trouble with assembly and for some it was a breeze. Firstly, it's true what others have already said, that you should use a drill screwdriver. In addition, it is important to situate the legs correctly before screwing them in. You could easily put them in 90 degrees out of rotation, and have more trouble and much less stability. Make sure the smooth bumps on the legs face towards the screws. This means that the more dimpled bumps are the ones where the screws will go in. There is a smaller indented area within the indent, and when the screws go in there they will cinch correctly. In our unit, if the legs were in right, the tiny little hole (further up the leg) was facing the other leg (from the same side of the table).

Our toddler twins love this toy and played with it for hours. So far we just put water in both sides. Soon I will add sand to one side and I'm sure the fun will continue and possibly also increase (hard to picture though, they are really enjoying this).

I highly recommend this toy.
