I looked at different types water tables and sand tables and combos and finally decided on this one. Price was unbeatable (purchased during prime day and got a great deal). I based my finally decision on the following factors:
1) Feedback: based on the feedback this seemed to be the best product out there regarding hour long entertainment, durability, quality, and price
2) Quality: It comes with a cover lid that is fastened via cords on each side allowing it to stay put during storms and it is such a tight fit that it may not let any critters in to access the water or sand
3) It is a combo: meaning it allows for versatility. You can either fill both sides with sand or water, sand and water, or rice (as per feedback when moving it indoors to keep the mess at bay and allow indoor fun during the winter months)
4) It has two drain plugs (one each side) to allow the water and/or sand to drain easily
5) Easy clean up
6) Light enough to move
7) It came with the umbrella for the times the deck has no shade. This is great to allow a little protection from the sun
8) Value and price. If you would get a water table and sandbox separate from each other you would ultimately pay more unless you are lucky and get it used or hand me down or have time to build your own sand box.
Only down side I found so far: My 17 months old son has discovered how fun it is to transfer the sand from his sand side to the water side to make mud (Thank you hubby lol). Either way it can get messy and a bit more cumbersome to clean the water side after his fun. Suggestion: drain the water and let the sun dry out the side and grab the vacuum. Simple and quickest method.
Recommendation I like to pass one from a feedback I read on another sand table product: Add a bit of cinnamon to your play sand to deter critters (in case they find a way in with the cover). It works.

Why Play with a Sensory Table?
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
Sensory ExplorationSand and water play introduce kids to new textures, temperatures, sights and sounds. Actions like splashing engage multiple senses at once, and encourage children to actively use their senses as they explore. With sand and water, every movement presents an opportunity to see, hear, and to feel something new. |
STEM LearningEarly physics concepts like motion and flowing are present in water play. Water toys with slides, spinners, and funnels are a great way to teach kids about cause and effect. Incorporate learning into play by letting kids make predictions about what will happen when water enters a spinner, or a rubber duck is placed on top of a water slide. |
Language + Social SkillsSensory sand and water toys help kids build important social skills like taking turns and experimenting with role play. This kind of play is also great for widening a child’s vocabulary, as they start using words like “splash”, “sand”, and “float”. |
Physical + Motor SkillsSand and water play are a great way to practice physical development. When your child pours water or sand from a bucket, they practice both physical dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Sensory toys like sand and/or water tables also help develop fine motor skills and the pincer grasp as kids practice squirting, stirring and squeezing different accessories while they play. |

Review of Step2 Cascading Cove with Umbrella

Great for siblings. Sand on both sides
Wanted a taller sand table and found this one. We didn’t do a slit of water and sand bc they already have a water table. We ended up putting sand in both sides which works great. I purchased a 50lb bag of play sand but only used maybe a 1/4 or 1/5 of it. You could use more but we didn’t want to much in there.The cover easily comes off and goes on. The umbrella I’m not a huge fan of because it should be able to be used at different heights. There’s no way of doing that.The toys that came with the table are great starter toys but we had a lot of sand toys already.It’s not the easiest to clean up after use. Sand builds up on the edge of the table and in the circular cracks on the corners. Not a big deal at all.We’ve had the table outside assembled for a couple weeks now and no bugs have gotten inside it at all.My kids are on the taller side for their ages which is 2 and 4 and this table is great for them size wise as well as because there is two sides there’s no fighting over it.

- Plástico robusto de excelente calidad, que me parece bastante seguro para los niños
- La mesa queda a una altura perfecta para niños desde 1 año
- Es súper atractivo y divertido para los niños, hasta el momento la hemos utilizado sólo con agua y ha sido todo un éxito
Tuvimos la fortuna de comprarla cuando estaba con descuento lo que lo hace aún mejor.
Totalmente recomendada, creo que es el mejor juguete para el verano.
