AD - I received this product for the purpose of this review.
As a family, we are huge Little Tikes fans. We love their products, especially their extensive range of outdoor toys. In fact, we recently reviewed the Little Tikes Fairy Cozy Coupe and are delighted to be collaborating with them again, this time with one of their water tables! I was given the option of four different water tables, all of which looked fantastic, however, I opted for the Spiralin Sea's Waterpark as I thought it would be suitable for both Noah and Ava.
It arrived a few days later, in a huge box, with a dozen plastic pieces ready to be assembled. I decided to tackle this my own, in the blazing heat, and didn't realise that there would be screws involved. Due to my presumption, it took a lot longer than it would if I'd had been prepared. So, my friends, preparation is key! Get those screwdrivers at the ready!
Features:
Children develop “put and take” and early motor skills with this engaging water table.
Drop character balls down spiral, watching them go round and round and down into the lazy river.
Turn the Ferris wheel to scoop up and drops off balls.
Fill the cup and pour into the funnel to power twin water wheels.
Turn the spinner that powers the “lazy river”.
Holds 7 gallons of water.
Accessories included; 5 character squirt balls and a scooping cup.
Once assembled I was really impressed with it, from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint. It looked entertaining, engaging and exciting, and Ava must have thought the same because she ran over to investigate it as soon as she set eyes on it.
It's so much more than a bog-standard water table with the different activity stations it has to offer. There's a spinning Ferris wheel, a spiraling ball drop, a lazy river, twin water wheels, and 6 accessories. Ava went straight to the wheel first and placed the character balls into the "seats". She didn't need any direction with this, she knew what to do and they were spinning around in no time. The character-themed balls are a great addition, Ava adores them. She enjoys pointing out the different characters or their colours and squirting water out of them too.
It's described as just the right size for toddlers and I agree, it's ideal for Ava. Noah, on the other hand, is a tall 5-year-old but has no problem bending down to it, or playing on his knees which makes me feel confident that they will have years of fun with it. It's also worth mentioning how robust and solid the table is. Both kids tend to lean on it when playing and it's never budged. It's definitely made to high-quality specifications like most Little Tikes toys are.

Not only is this water table so much fun but it's designed to develop fine motor skills and imaginative play, whilst teaching things like sharing, and cause and effect. Noah and Ava have had hours of fun with it already, both in the sun and in the rain. I know that it'll be used for years to come.
The Little Tikes Spiralin Seas Water Park is suitable for children from 2 years of age, has an RRP of £54.99 but can be found on offer online at places like Smyths Toys.
