Even when you can’t head to the beach the Little Tikes Sand & Water Fun Factory lets your kids enjoy sand sun and shade on hot summer days. This multi-station plastic table has two play areas one for sand and one for water and has a raised design to help kids stay clean and reach the fun comfortably. The underside of each lid is covered with gears gadgets funnels and cogs; just add sand or water for a mesmerizing display.This set includes a variety of toys that are perfect for little hands like a shovel and a scoop for interacting with the sand and water. A boat floats on the water side while the truck can trundle through the sand and make a quick escape down the ramp on the side. The fabric sun shade canopy can be raised or lowered to protect your kids from the sun’s harmful rays throughout the day. When the kids are done playing use the drain to empty the water so you won’t attract mosquitoes and drop down the lids to protect the sand from the elements and from animals.About Little TikesFounded in 1970 the Little Tikes Company is a multi-national manufacturer and marketer of high-quality innovative children’s products.
