Sand and water table

I've been looking at the water tables and I thought that might be something for "Santa" to bring my DS this year that he'll have for this spring/summer to play with. Any recommendations on which one?? There are soooooo many!

We have this Pirate Ship one.

We have an unfinished basement, so it's downstairs and I'll be putting water in it tomorrow.  No reason to put it away til summer.  Make it a sand table or sensory table with beans, rice, cotton balls, pom poms, dried pasta, scrap paper, snow, oatmeal, finger paint, popcorn, popcorn kernals, and the list goes on.  They are so much fun!

We have the step 2 one as well and LOVE it!  It doesn't have all the fancy stuff, just a few ramps for DD to let her imagination run wild.  At 12 months she wasn't terribly interested in it. By 15 months she would make a beeline for it!

I'm going to use these great ideas! "Make it a sand table or sensory table with beans, rice, cotton balls, pom poms, dried pasta, scrap paper, snow, oatmeal, finger paint, popcorn, popcorn kernals, and the list goes on. They are so much fun! "

We got the pirate ship for DS last year and he loves it. During the winter he plays with it in the house without water.

We got this one, and DS is happy with it:

My thoughts are a water table is less maintenance and easier to move.  Just dump it out when dirty and put new water in.  Also, if we got a Sand/Water table, it would turn into a sandwater table.  They would never stay separate.  It would be a mess.
