Summer is here and that means enjoying being outside. This is possible on the balcony as well as in the garden. Children mainly want to be busy with water. My tips:the water table is the best outdoor toy for children up to 6 years.
Most children love water, especially in the summer. Although it is also a lot of fun to play in the rain. A swimming pool is of course a nice solution, but especially suitable for older children. That doesn't just apply to a swimming pool, but also things like a water gun and water balloons. So how do you ensure that your little one can cool down safely and have fun with water? Then take a look at the possibilities of a water table. This guarantees hours of entertainment for the baby, toddler and preschooler.
Maybe you've heard of it, maybe you haven't. A water table is a type of table that stands on four legs. Instead of a traditional table top, the top consists of a container in which you can put water. Different models are available, made of wood (sustainable) or of plastic. Some water tables are straightforward models, where children can let off steam with their own toys. You can then combine these with rubber ducks, buckets, scoops and everything that is suitable for on and in the water.
In addition to the standard water tables, you can opt for a more extensive model. All kinds of toys are integrated with these models. Think of a water wheel, a fishing rod, a funnel through which you can let water run, a boat and much more. All you have to do is fill the tank with a layer of water, otherwise you don't have to worry about it. Your children are guaranteed to have hours of fun playing with water.
A water table is designed with small children in mind. The table is at a safe sitting or standing height. Furthermore, the height of the water basin is limited, so that a limited amount of water can enter. However, it is not the intention to let very young children play with the water table unsupervised. An accident is just around the corner and it is precisely the attraction of water that makes it so difficult to estimate the risk of an accident. Therefore, it is better to be on the safe side and do not allow children up to 3 years to play with water unsupervised. Not even if it's a small amount of water.
Most water tables have a very compact size, so you can easily take them with you. Ideal if you go to the park (with water) or to the beach for a day and don't feel like running after the children's scooter. Fold or disassemble the legs and take the water table with you in the trunk or public transport. That way your little one can also safely enjoy water elsewhere. In addition to the hard plastic versions and the models made of wood, you can of course opt for an inflatable water table. This is even easier to use and can even be taken on holiday.
Toys are subject to popularity. While children's roller skates are an emerging trend, water tables have been popular among children for years. Not surprising, because a water table offers the following advantages:
