Water table

-T-

I'm almost positive we talked about this last summer. Who has a water table for their LO outside? Any recs? Looking at buying this one.

I was looking at this one because its only $22.99 and I'm not sure if DS would love it or not. If you have one, do you guys play with it a lot? Is it worth it to buy a more expensive one?

We don't have a water table, but I would go with the cheap one. If you LO doesn't show any interest then it's not a waste of $$ and then if they love it you can consider buying another. That's just what I would do

DD loved it last yr. I wouldn't put any sand in it though cause they just get all mixed up. No reason to buy a more expensive one.

This is the one that was mostly recommended last year. We got it for $30 on sale from amazon.
Alex loves it! We had it set up in the front yard every day last summer and when it got too cold for water, we put potting soil in it. A big hit for sure!

My DH made this one for DS.  He loves it!  Not too expensive either.

We have this one (but got it way cheaper from a local store here that had them as a special item, then clearanced them out for like $20.)

I like it, but the balls are constantly getting stuck in the middle spiral thing. Not sure if we got a dud or what, but I almost wonder if it was a return too. My sister picked it up & it was the last one they had there so who knows.

I love that one! I found it somewhere else for a little cheaper. It's been cold and will be rainy all week so I haven't ordered anything yet. That one is high on my list since it looks sturdy too!

DS1 loves his water table. My mom bought this one LINK at Kohl's last summer but I think she paid around $40 for hers. DS loved it so much that I bought the same one for our house as well. I got mine on clearance at Target when they were getting rid of all their summer stuff.

Oh, and I would also say that cheap is fine. DS was just as happy using kitchen measuring cups in his as he was the toys that came with the table.
