Our students, ages 3-5, love this table! It can be used for water and
sand, of course, but we also use it for ooblick (that wonderful
combination of corn starch and water for sensory play), and we shred
tissue paper and 'hide' items in it that link with the lesson
(currently, plastic frogs of all sorts, colors, and sizes are hidden in
various shades of green tissue paper).
The children use 'chop sticks'
to locate and pluck them out of the bin, assisting with the
strengthening of fine motor muscles. It requires minimal space, drains
water simply, and easily moves from room to room on sturdy wheels. This
was a purchase that will provide many enriching activities for our
students!
