Discovery Glow Water Table
Our new colour-changing sand & water table has been thoughtfully designed with several convenient features. The deep exploration area is perfect for the open-ended tactile investigation of materials and their properties, with the additional visual sensory element of light and colour. Ideal for individual focused activities or collaborative play.
The sturdy but lightweight unit is beautiful as well as practical: easy to move, with a slim profile to fit through standard doors even with liquid inside, and quick to clean. The sides and bottom of the internal well have been carefully crafted to make it easier to cover the base with only a small amount of liquid or other materials if required.
The LED unit has been optimised so the light floods the whole area of the internal well evenly, emitting a soft clean glow which changes colour using the remote control. The overall height of the unit allows younger children to reach the bottom of the exploration area with ease, allowing them to engage in messy play: using hands to explore a range of liquid or solid materials such as sand, craft clay, play dough, flour, jelly, foam, dried pasta or rice.
