Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table
A sturdy, engaging toddler water table that needs draining after play and has thin accessories.
The short version
- Toddlers 18 months and up with outdoor space to play
- Families who often have more than one child at the table
- You have no outdoor space where splashing is fine
- You will not drain and dry it after each use
What owners like
- Keeps toddlers busy for long stretches
- Sturdy molded plastic table that lasts several seasons
- Room for two to four children at once
- Quick assembly with a screwdriver
Common complaints
- Small accessories feel thin and wear out sooner than the table
- Water ends up on clothes and the ground
- Needs draining and cleaning after use or algae grows
- Colors fade with long sun exposure, and the drain plug sat loose on one test unit

What it does
A two tier outdoor water table for toddlers: water poured into the top tray rains down through a maze of spinners into a 5 gallon pond below.
- Top tray rains water down onto the pond with a shower effect
- Rearrangeable maze pieces, spinners and ramps for cause and effect play
- Open layout lets several children play at once
- Drain plug for emptying
- Accessories include a spinning wheel, flipper, scoop and floating frog
A strong choice for families with a yard or patio who want a toddler water table that several kids can share, with a sturdy molded base and a drain plug. The trade offs are the mess, the need to drain and dry it after play, and thin accessories that wear out faster than the table.
