We’re big fans of Little Tikes toys here – they’re durable and robust. Arjun was lucky enough to receive the Go Green Playhouse last year and he still loves to play in it using it sometimes as a drive through restaurant, as his house or as just a kitchen! He’s had hours of fun and we’re looking forward to many more hours of fun with summer approaching!
We were recently sent the Little Tikes Fountain Factory Table – perfect timing with the sun making an appearance and summer approaching!
The table comes with various pipes, connections and taps and accessories. It was quite quick to assemble with a few finicky parts with the pipes.
I definitely prefer water table over a sand and water table just because of the cross of the two – the sand always ends up mucky and we end up only getting a few uses before the sand and water need to be replaced!
Arjun is definitely an outdoorsy little guy and he loves being in the garden. I find that he’s able to spend hours out there entertaining himself and to be honest I prefer it more than anything – it’s great for his little lungs too.
What I love most about this table is the educational factor – Arjun has enough freedom to explore by connecting various pipes and water stores while also learning the cause and effect relationship of how he connects them. He loves to experiment by turning different taps off to see what triggers which element to work and filling the central water reserve through different methods (either with the pump or with the little jug that’s included).
As Arjun grows, I think this will be a really great way for him to learn how the mechanics of each pipe, tap and connection works by exploring different combinations.
To be honest, Arjun aside, I found it quite interesting and found myself faffing with different connections myself! Haha! Saajan loved watching Arjun play and seeing how the different fountains worked when Arjun filled the central reserve and the overflow of water triggered the three spinners at the top.
I absolutely love how easy it is to empty the table – there’s a plug at the bottom of the table making it a very swift process!
We really love our latest garden addition and look forward to growing our Little Tikes garden selection over the summer!
