Playing in this sandbox is my daughter’s new favorite activity and she has even chosen it over pool time! It is the perfect size for my 18 month old and also works for her older neighbor friends (ages 3 and 6), with two children inside. It is a hit with all of them and is large enough to keep her sand toys stored, as well. I love that she can sit on the corners, although she usually likes to jump in and have her legs buried. The cover is great to keep the sand clean, although with our crazy gulf coast storms it did get blown off once in the past two months. The sand was just wet enough to create a new texture, which she enjoyed. It gave me the idea to add some water for her, to change her sensory experience up from time to time. I am very happy with this purchase and see it as something that will get lots of use for years to come!
