One of my three daughters has two boys, ages 1 and 2. This is the perfect-sized sandbox for them! It's not too big, and is just enough for them to have a place to play in the sand. It only takes a $4 bag of sand to fill this cute little hippo sandbox too. It has a lid on it to keep cats from visiting and leaving little presents! The lid is not too heavy, and can easily be removed by my grandsons. I love that Wayfair always has just what I need for my family!
