My boys were so excited to see this box. They wanted to play with it right away. It was very simple to set up and the directions were clear. Once I got it all set up my boys went to town. They love the different areas that there is to play in and the water made it so much better. I just laid a couple towels down. The bright colors grabbed their attention and mine also. They will play with this toy for a few years to come. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
