Fun in the Sun Summer Blog Party Day 7...Step 2

I can't believe it's already Day 7 in our Fun in the Sun Summer blog party. I hope you've had a chance to check out all of the great giveaways here and over at Running Away? I'll Help you Pack. I thought we would mix it up a little bit today and just do a review and get back to the giveaways on Monday!

My son lives to play outside, every morning when he wakes up he walks to the gate by the front door and says, "Outside Mommy!" Since summertime here in Ohio is nothing if not scorching I always worry that my kids will get too hot while they play outside. Finding toys that are fun and will keep my babies cool on a sweltering summer day is a must for me.

I have always been a big fan of Step 2 and their great children's products, they are one of my go to brands. The Step 2 family of products offer affordability, great craftsmanship, and loads of fun. The Step 2 product that my family received to review was the Arctic Splash Water Table and let me just say that my son was thrilled when it arrived at our house and even more thrilled when we put it together and filled it with water for the first time. The Arctic Splash water table was very easy to put together my fiance spent maybe 5 minutes total putting the water table together. Some of the features of the Arctic Splash water table include:

• Multi-level water wells.
• Raised design which keeps your kiddos feet dry.
• Includes an ice castle, ice slide, tunnel, and dumping bucket.
• Very cute animal squirt toys (a penguin, a walrus, and a polar bear).

Gaige asks me every day to "Pay table" which when translated means "Mom I wanna play with my water table." He could spend hours splashing and playing with the dumping bucket and so could my other children as all four of them have splashed around on the table a time or two. There was one thing that I wished was a little different about the Arctic Splash water table and that is that the Ice Castle, while adorable and lots of fun to play with, it does not hook on to the water table which means that my son spent more time knocking it over than he actually did playing with it. Overall the Arctic Splash water table is an excellent summertime toy perfect for kids of all ages!
