Description
This sand and water table is a 2-in-1 play table measuring 40 x 40 x 59cm, supplied with 21 accessory pieces and four legs that stay steady on uneven ground, suitable from age 3. Sand on one side, water on the other, both at standing height.
The trouble with a sandpit is that it is a hole in the ground: the cat finds it, the rain fills it, and a three year old ends up sitting in wet sand. A table lifts the whole thing to standing height, keeps the sand where you put it, and lets two or three children work around it at once without kneeling. It also comes inside at the end of summer instead of staying in the yard through winter.

Why a Table Beats a Sandpit
-
Sand and water together - the two halves are what make the play last, because pouring water into sand is where the imagination starts.
-
Standing height - children play upright around all four sides instead of kneeling in it, so clothes and knees survive the afternoon.
-
21 accessories included - the table arrives ready to play with rather than as an empty tub you then have to fill with bought extras.
-
Stable on irregular ground - the four legs stay steady on grass, sand or a sloping yard, which is where these actually get used.
-
Round smooth edges - designed so a child running past a corner does not come off worse for it.
What Age Is a Sand and Water Table For?
It is rated for ages 3 and over. Younger toddlers are usually still putting things in their mouths and the accessory pieces are the reason for the rating. Children well past three keep using it, because at that point they are building rivers and dams rather than just scooping.
Can You Use Sand and Water at the Same Time?
Yes, that is what the 2-in-1 layout is for. One side takes sand and the other takes water, so a child can move material between them, which is exactly the kind of open ended play that keeps a three year old occupied for longer than a single function toy does. Neither sand nor water is included.
Does the Table Stay Stable on Grass or Sand?
The surface base is supported by four legs designed to stay steady on irregular ground, including grass and sand. It is also lightweight, so it can be picked up and repositioned into the shade during the day rather than left in full sun.
Who Buys These
Parents of preschoolers looking for something that works outside in an Australian summer, grandparents setting up a backyard for regular visits, and families in rentals or apartments where digging a permanent sandpit is not an option. Family day care educators and playgroups buy them too, because a table lets several children play at once without anyone having to sit on the ground.
Pair It With
Outdoor play in summer needs a bit of support around it. Our Toys & Games range has the rest of the outdoor play gear, Summer covers the shade, water and pool items for the same backyard, and Gifts for Kids is the place to look if this is a birthday present.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is sand or water included?
No. You supply both. The table and its 21 accessory pieces are what is in the box.
How tall is it?
59cm, which is standing height for a preschooler.
Does it need assembly?
The legs fit to the base. It is a light, simple assembly rather than a flat pack build.
Can it stay outside?
It is made for outdoor use, but like any plastic item it will last longer if it is not left in full Australian sun year round. Emptying it and storing it over winter is worth the effort.
Is the plastic safe?
The material is non-toxic and eco-friendly, with round smooth edges throughout.
Can more than one child use it?
Yes. It is 40 x 40cm with four open sides, so several children can play around it at once.
Is it heavy to move?
No. It is built light specifically so it can be carried and repositioned easily.

Product photography is indicative. Colours may vary slightly between screens and the item in hand, and hand measured dimensions carry a small tolerance. Always supervise children during water play.
