Does anyone have any suggestions on what i can use in the table for inside use for a two year old besides the sand and water?

I have heard of people using beans, oatmeal, rice but they all sound like a mess to me. I suppose if you had a calm child that would stay at the table, it would work.

We put pasta, beans, corn kernels, etc during the winter. It can get a bit messy but if you put a sheet or something underneath it helps contain the clutter.

I used it with my 4 year old granddaughter in our shower. I gave her a bucket of water to scoop and fill and it kept her busy for a very long time and the shower minimized the mess. I added some toy cars and dish soap and it created bubbles for a "car wash". She had a great time. For the money, it's a good toy.

It would be extremely expensive to use it in a sandbox. I believe it is for indoor use only.

My daughter is 2.5 yrs and loves the sand !!! She loves using cookie cutters to play with her " special sand"

You don't need a sand and water table. I put 4 of the 5 pound boxes in my table and it fills up half. So if you're just using 1, one of those Rubbermaid type storage containers will work great. Not the shoe box size but the rectangle medium size. Not really big.

We have ours indoors. I suppose it would be "okay" if it doesn't get wet however there are tables meant for outdoors. Otherwise, it's a great table.

sand and small pebbles work great in there. unfortunately small toys get put in there often and it can be tough to get them out.

My Grandson just leaves his on the play table they sell for the sand. Again I must say we bought this for him in Oct. And it still remains a favorite for him and all his playmates! Hope I helped you.

You can use paper if you want. Melissa & Doug has a nice large pad, but you don't need it. The boards are erasable. it's a great item for toddlers, sturdy and steady, not tippy!

You can use sand or water. Water is much easier to put in and I definitely wouldn't invest in sand and a funnel since this won't last for more than a week or so.

I purchased this for my Grandson that just turned 2, and he is on the tiny side. He holds a hose and makes the water wheel go around, but there are so many other things to play with for a 16month old..All my Grandkids played with the water tables for years till they were older.. I think it would be appropriate in my opinion..

That's your choice. If you don't want it sitting down low in the sand, you need it up higher. A tabletop would be fine. But it should be a non flammable surface.

It's pretty small to be used as a ball poll playground. It may also be too shallow for a 6mos old inside a float. It would be better to find a baby pool or kid pool that is a little wider and maybe deeper.

You could use the mat for a baby. It's much thicker than those foam pieces. The only think is the mat is not that wide so it's a pretty small playing surface.

This is used as the kids table when I need the space. Ages 2-10. Plenty of room for them. I have also used it as a craft table and havent had any leg issues. I have 2 of these tables and they have been very handy.

My 2 older kids have each had a table similar to this and my youngest now has this one. My two oldest started to lose interest around the age of 2. My youngest is 15 months old and doesn't play with it that much anymore. I think it's too young for a 2 1/2 year old.

It is a great doll house. But for a two year old, I'd be cautious. Most parts are large enough, but there may be a few that could be swallowed. You could probably just take those out, since I don't recall there being very many

I bought the sand digger for my 2 years old, the digger will not be strong enough for kids over 4.
