Children love to play in the sandbox, but it is not fun when sand gets stuck on their clothes. Sand tables make a good alternative to this mess, like the Naturally Playful Sand Table by Step2. It features an elevated sandbox, which can hold up to 80 pounds of sand, that remains reachable to your active toddlers while keeping them clean. This sand table also comes with a lid with tie-downs to keep the sand clean and dry. The lid even has molded-in car race track to provide additional play surface.
The package includes two shovels, two claw rakes, and a bucket. It measures 6.2 x 26 x 36 inches and weighs 17.5 pounds. The table comes smooth with wood textures that blends in with traditional residential landscapes. Note that sand is not included in the purchase and that it can only be shipped to the 48 contiguous states.
The Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table is ideal for children ages 24 months to 5 years. It is now available on Amazon for a listed price of $54.99.
It is that time of year when your kids dread the heat and you–as a parent–
Your kids will always emulate their favorite superheros, but sometimes they prefer the not so common ones like Spider-man or Captain America. Hawkeye may not be the superhero of choice when you were a kid, but the recently-released Avengers movie got them look up to Clint Barton because of his keen sense of marksmanship–not to mention the big bad bow he uses as a weapon.
Your child is fixated on the lawn mower as Dad pushes it across the front yard. He wanted to play with it, but we know better. So why not encourage his gardener role play with a Tootle Turtle Mower by Melissa & Doug? This sturdy plastic mower galvanizes outdoor play and role-play activity, not to mention fosters the value of responsibility to your little one.
We cannot give our children their dream ponies, but we can give them the next best thing. The Rody Jumping Horse by Gymnic is the modern-day version of the original Rody by Italian toy company Ledraplastic. This bouncing toy horse, which remains made and imported from Italy, is made of very strong, latex-free vinyl. Its composition complies with safety standards in the United States and internationally, so parents are assured it does not contain harmful chemicals.
