Wow! The "Naturally Playful Sand & Water Activity Center" is a home run for our two year old granddaughter! Once we finished assembling it, we filled one side with kinetic sand and the other with "water beads" (add water, watch 'em grow). Our little one started playing with it and didn"t touch another toy (of which she has copious amounts of at Grandma & Grandpa's house!) for the remainder of the day... seriously. What a fun, interactive adventure for her to enjoy on the daily. This item corrals the sand and water fairly well, and we have yet to encounter any leaks (user error, in my opinion) like some other reviewers have complained about. All in all, the whole family is super happy with this newest Step 2 addition to our growing collection! We especially like the lid and latch feature that promotes safe and secure storage when playtime is over. By the way, the online discount code at the time of purchase was a bonus and Step 2's customer service is exceptional!
