Step 2 Naturally Playful Sandbox – The Sand Stays Dry!

I took a long time trying to pick out the right sandbox for my 3-year old triplets. I didn’t want wood because we live in Florida and bugs are always a concern (especially termites).
It had to be big enough for three kids, but not too big because my yard isn’t huge. It had to have a top that secured in place because we get hurricanes here which are very windy. It also rains for a short time most days during the summer, so the top had to stay on tightly or the sand would never dry and would be unusable.
With those criteria in mind, I finally settled on the Step 2 Naturally Playful Sandbox after reading many reviews that said the top stayed on and the sand stayed dry.
We’ve been using this sandbox for a few months now and I’m happy to report that the top does stay on and the sand does stay dry! It’s also big enough for all three kids. It required no assembly and it holds a lot of sand. And one more thing, it’s only $59.99! My rating on the Step 2 Naturally Playful Sandbox – two thumbs up!

Thanks for the review. It’s great to hear reviews for products that people have actually used. I can’t stand spending money on something that I’m not happy with. We’re not looking for anymore outside toys right now because we might be moving soon. When we get our yard set up again, this will be something that I look in to.
You’re welcome, Karen. Hope your move goes smoothly!
We have a different Step 2 sandbox (the one with the picnic table attached), and the lid stays on that one quite well too– even in the high-wind of Oklahoma. I love it!
