Description

The falling water action from this Waterwheel Play Table encourages creative exploration with cause and effect learning. This imaginative water play center encourages hours of outdoor fun. Pour water into the wide funnel, and activate the water wheel which then spills into the inner and outer harbors. Two molded-in sections function as canals, boats, lakes, harbors and more. An elevated design keeps water at toddler level and also keeps ground dirt clear of water and mud from forming on children's feet. It accommodates up to three children to encourage group play. Two built-in drain plugs allow for easy water removal. The four piece accessory set includes: one cup, two sailboats, and one water wheel tower. Features decorative molded-in fish designs on legs. It can holds up to four gallons of water.

 Super Cute! - Jul 27, 2010

My 2 1/2 year old thinks this is great! Of course he adds his own toys too it. Boats are cute and Little Lego people fit in them. Perfect for imagination play.

 Lots of fun... - Jul 27, 2010

I bought this for my son's 1st birthday. He loves playing with the boats and putting his hand under the water. Although in the beginning he was knocking over the water tower, but now he doesnt. He is still a little short for him to put water into the top on the water tower, but his cousin who is 9 had fun playing with it too. Great for all ages apparently.

 great value - Jul 24, 2010

great value for the price. not as many fancy options as other water tables, but kids tend to tire of those toys after awhile anyways. great for letting your child just have fun playing in the water!

 Great water table! - Jul 24, 2010

My 13 month old son LOVES this water table and you certainly cannot beat the price. Even though it doesn't come with a cover, it is very easy to drain and refilling only takes a second. After all, I'd rather my son play in fresh/clean water anyhow than water that sits, even if it is covered up. I would highly recommend this product, especially at this great price. I contemplated purchasing one with sand in addition to water but read that they get particularly messy. I imagine once the weather turns cooler I could simply fill this with sand for more fun!

 Great idea, poor quality - Jul 22, 2010

Great idea...was so excited for my one year old grandson to play with...however he was a little small yet so 4 yr old sister played with it. She enjoyed it while it lasted...didn't last long, bottom cracked and wouldn't hold water. Still a great idea. Just need to make it with a more durable plastic.

 Lots of fun for the price - Jul 19, 2010

I got this as a gift for a 2 year old and a 3 year old. They are fun and look like I spent much more than I did! In the summer you can fill them with water, and in the winter I imagine you can fill them with sand. I really liked this toy, and it was very easy to fit together. Durable and fun. I would definitely buy this product again!

 sturdy and easy - Jul 19, 2010

We purchased 3 to use during our preschool summer session. We use them outside on the playground. The children love them(even the 4yr olds). They are sturdy. Easy to set up. Easy to keep clean. On really hot days we even add ice cubes to add to the fun.

 Great for hot summer days - Jul 19, 2010

The kids really love it, and so do I. More hygienic than a wading pool, uses less water than a sprinkler.

 Happy Boy - Jul 13, 2010

I gave this to my best friend's son on his 2nd birthday and he absolutely LOVES it. Based on several of the reviews, I was worried, but I have checked in with them about it several times & they are still very happy with it, They have not had any of the issues mentioned in the more negative reviews.

 What perfect fun for a toddler & a pre-schooler - Jul 12, 2010

For my grandson's 3rd birthday I ordered this product. His 16-mo. old brother was just as into the water wheel as he was. It is certainly a safe product that both can play with without fighting.

 Step 2 Waterwheel Activity Play Table - Jul 11, 2010

After reading many reviews about this product, I decided to purchase it. My 2 1/2 year old son thoroughly enjoys it. I don't know why the fuss I read about in the reviews over the waterwheel easily falling or not being attached. It sits just fine in the area it's supposed to sit in. My son loves this water table. The neighborhood children love it too. It's really nice for a hot day. I would suggest this to anyone. Your kids would love it!

 Best summer toy! - Jul 10, 2010

I bought this for the little boy that I am a nanny for. He loves playing in the dog's water bowls so I figured this could be a hit. He plays with it multiple times a day. It's the first thing he runs to when we go outside. It is the best $[...] I have spent on him!!!

 fun summer toy for toddler - Jul 09, 2010

My 17-month old son absolutely loves this water table, but doesn't seem to appreciate that it's a table, not a pool. He takes the water tower out and climbs right in. Table legs are secure and sturdy enough to handle a 27lb toddler sitting on table without a problem. Agree with previous reviews that it would be nice if the water tower snapped into place, making it more secure.

 A great invention! - Jul 08, 2010

It was easy to assemble and my son loves it! He puts all of his water creatures in it, and plays for hours. It has two plugs on either side to drain out the water when you are finished playing with it. The first thing he wants to do when he wakes up in the morning is go outside and play in the water. The WaterWheel table is the perfect size and comes with 2 boats, a cup, and a Water Wheel. Great invention!!

 Well Worth The Money. - Jul 07, 2010

I ordered the Step 2 WaterWheel Activity Play Table for my 16 month old. He has really enjoyed it. The boats that come with it are kind of flimsy and come apart to easy, so I got him some better ones to use. The table is very durable. My son has climbed in it, all 27 lbs of him and it did not tip over. It is heavy enough with the water in it so he can't move it which is nice. This winter I will probably put some sand in it so he will be able to use it year round.

 Good for 1-years of age and good buy overall - Jun 29, 2010

I bought this table for my 2 year old. She liked it the first day or so, but then after she has been a bit bored of it. I think this table is great for a one year old child. It is sturdy and it's easy to dump water out of it for cleaning purposes. Overall a good buy for the price too!

 2 Yr. Old Son Loves this table - Jun 29, 2010

I love this toy, and so does my 2 year old son. He could literally stand and play at the table for hours and then cry when I make him come in for dinner. My 4 yr. old daughter likes it too, but not as much. They like it when I put ice in with the water. The water wheel works great.

It comes with a couple little sail boats. Those are both pretty cheap looking and feeling, but the rest of the accessories and the table itself are sturdy and should last a very long time.

The legs don't come off once it's assembled, so if you're hoping to store it somewhere through the winter, keep that in mind.

 Cover idea - Jun 27, 2010

Bought this table for my one-year-old. He loves it! Wish the product came with a cover. I bought a fire pit cover and it works great!

 tons of fun - Jun 26, 2010

we have had this table for a few months now. My girls (3 and 1 1/2) play with it every day. They not only put water in it but we do bubbles, float flowers, make mud pies, etc.. Clean up is easy, I just hose it down. the table is weather durable as it is solid plastic. On the down side, the little boats have already broken and the table can tip over if not placed on very level ground. My 1 year old climbs into it and tips it over after she empties the water and drags it across the driveway to uneven ground. But over all we love it and use it a lot.

 grandson's delight - Jun 25, 2010

This table was extremely easy to put together and is very very sturdy. Very clever leg attachments.
Our 2 year old grandson took to it right away and wants to use it every time he's here. The tower intrigues him and he will learn (on his own!) to run the spinner with water from above; rather than with his finger. We commend two-level construction of the water reservoirs; this will lead to more learning thru good play.
Altogether, a very worthwhile purchase.

 lot of fun - Jun 24, 2010

I bought this table for my son who is 19 months old. He loves to play with it. It took less then 5 minutes to put together and seems to be pretty durable. Another toy that he will get lots of use out of.

 The best water play table! - Jun 23, 2010

This water play table from Step 2 is amazing! It is sturdy and incredibly easy to put together - it took me about 10 seconds to do it. It is also easy to store away when not in use. I bought this for my 18-month old son who absolutely loves it. He loves to splash in the water, play with the boats, the water wheel,the cup, etc. He gets upset when I say water play time is over - he would play with it all day if he could! It is also great for the hot summer weather because splashing around in the water keeps your child cool while keeping them occupied at the same time. It is educational as well because children can learn the concept of in/out, wet/dry, how boats float on water, what makes the water wheel spin around, etc. If your child has sensory issues, this can help with that by exposing him/her to new experiences, textures, etc. I recommend this product for anyone with a child who is toddler age!

 Great Toy! - Jun 22, 2010

My daughter is 21 months old and she loves this toy. I have been thinking about getting her this since the weather has gotten warmer and I'm so glad I did. This is the perfect toy for a toddler who enjoys splashing around in the water. And you really can't beat the price!

 Great Summer Fun! - Jun 14, 2010

My friend's kids have the newer version of the Step 2 table with the glacier and animals...and after comparing the two, I think this one is much better. The water wheel keeps my daughter's attention for as long as we happen to be outside. This table is sturdy, well-designed and SO easy to assemble. Worth every penny so far!

 Great for 1 year olds - Jun 14, 2010

My toddler loves this toy. I got it because she always wants to splash in our dog's water bowl, which I'm not too excited about. She loves splashing the water and using the toys to pour water just about everywhere!
