Little Tikes Fountain Factory Water Table - Outdoor Garden Toy, Safe & Portable Kids Table - Sensory Toy for Garden Games, Encourages Creative Play, For Ages 24 Months+

Product Information

The instructions show you how to put the table together in one way but really, you can ignore a lot of it and play around with the set up. Encouraging sensory play as well as teaching the basics of STEM learning, it has lots of plumbing pipes and water taps that can be rearranged in a variety of ways. Selected lines only, determined by size, weight or whether delivered direct from one of our suppliers.

This adorable, blue, apple-shaped sand and water pit from Chad Valley is sure to be an instant hit with your little ones. The instructions felt a bit cryptic at times, and when we made a mistake it was quite an effort to take pieces apart again. The little tikes fountain factory water table is an outdoor water play set that provides hours of entertainment for children. Don't make the mistake of leaving water in it either as the tubes etc are really hard to rinse through. We were offered the Little Tikes Fountain Factory Water Table for the purpose of a review, however all thoughts and opinions are our own.

However, the water table was really basic as it only had 2 compartments with various pots to play with. It was slightly fiddly in places – especially when we were trying to fit the rubber tubing through certain holes to create fixed connections – but once Sharon softened the end of the tubes with a bit of warm water the plastic slipped right through and created a nice tight fit once cooled.

A 20ft container can accommodate 283 units of this product, while a 40ft container can fit 652 units. Unfortunately we cannot deliver to BFPO addresses and some large items are shipped directly from our suppliers who ship to the UK mainland only. The only bit I struggled with was putting the plug in, but it was nothing a bit of wiggling and jiggling couldn't fix!

At two and a half years old, my daughter is very much at the lower end of who it is aimed at as she has neither the strength nor inclination to keep pressing the pump that is required to flow the water and work most of the functions, so this task fell to mummy! In terms of transportation, the little tikes fountain factory water table can be stacked in intermodal containers.

The sprinkler has a spinometer and 4 sprinkler settings which you can easily change between by twisting the end of the stick.The pieces and accessories are all interchangeable, meaning that your little one can make different paths for the water to follow. I love the bright colours and all the different features of the water table, you can even move the pieces around for variety. Some sections, especially the hose that runs from the pump to the centre – which still looks more squashed than it should – were a bit tricky to connect, and others like the pipes and u-bends fall apart very easily. In total it took me 32 minutes from opening the box to completing assembly of the 32 pieces and that is with the confusion over the instructions and the help of a toddler.
