Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table review

Step2's Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table is the outdoor pick on this list. A child scoops water from the lower pond and pours it into the top tray, which rains down through spinners and ramps, a cause-and-effect loop Step2 builds the whole toy around. The put-and-place maze pieces and buckets can be moved to make new water paths, and the 13-piece accessory set adds squirt toys. The basin holds up to 5 gallons, and Step2 rates the table for ages 1.5 and up. At $89.99 on step2.com it is the second most expensive verified pick, and Step2 listed free shipping on it when we checked; a version with a cover costs $109.99. The trade-offs are season and setup. It is a backyard toy in most of the US, it needs adult assembly, and any toddler water play needs an adult nearby. Families without outdoor space will get more use from the Lovevery Block Set or the Cozy Coupe.
