Sand and Water Outdoor Fun!

What could be more fun than a sandbox? A sand AND water box! The Activity Sand and Water table has the best of both worlds for your kids to explore and enjoy.

And you're not limited to just sand and water, you can fill the "water" bin with not only water but pinto beans, marbles or just use good old H2O and you can vary the sensory input the kids get.

The size of this table allows four to six children to play at once and it encourages group play. For easy clean up and storage, the lid snaps on and keeps the items in the sand table - inside. The table stands 24-inches and has 4 caster wheels. There is a handy drain valve on the water side of the sand table that lets the water drain out easily.

This is a great toy for kids 3-years old and up to enjoy outdoor play along with different sensations. Your kids can spend hours creating different play scenarios and this is a wonderful toy to encourage not only group cooperation, but also pretend play.

Rock It! with a Cool Rocking Toy

Sometimes when you're looking for a great gift or addition to your little one's toy collection; it's a good idea to think simple and forget the toys and play gadgets with all the lights, buttons, sounds, and other additions. Instead think back to some of the more simple pleasures and let your child enjoy some of the toys you loved as a child.

A rocking horse is a great example of this type of toy. The simple rocking motion is something most child find soothing and what is a simple riding toy can turn into a whole lot more as your child grows older. Think back to your own rocking horse, did you pretend you were a cowboy, messenger, warrior or other character as you "rode" your horse? The pretend play value a rocking horse can bring is endless.

Also you're not just limited to a horse design for a rocking horse. If you're looking for a toy to have available at your house when the grandkids visit and you want to make your political stance perfectly known, there is a fun elephant or donkey and the animal wears a bib that reads, "Republican in training" (elephant) or "Democrat in training"(donkey).


Other classic designs that will literally become heirlooms to be passed down from generation to generation are the classic designs in rocking toys from Guidecraft and one of their wooden retro rocker designs in a train, boat or classic old-fashioned airplane style rocker. They are crafted with the utmost in safety in mind and look fabulous! Your child will have hours of fun rocking in one of these retro beauties.

Use these tips and give your child a fun toy that will let them expand his or her imagination instead of a yet another toy that is so advanced it does everything but play for the child. Give your child the gift of a toy that can literally do anything your child imagines it can - and give them the fun of a rocker!
