Water table for 1 year old or not?

My daughter will be 1 soon and I was thinking of getting her a water table but wasn't sure if she'd be too young? I wanted to get her the pirate ship one by Little Tikes.

Don't think it's too young at all. I regretted buying one for indoors though much too splashy!

Absolutely go for it. My DS loved his water table from that sort of age (although a washing up bowl would also be as good).

I bought one for my ds for outside and to be honest he just tipped it up as soon as I filled it up. He's 2.5 now and is much better or my patience has improved

DD loved hers though she was more like 16/17 months by the time summer hit. I think a 1 yr old would enjoy it but get a sturdy one!

I'd get one. My little me one loved one then and still does now.I wish we had one

I bought one as it was reduced to 20 euro from 50 in Smyths for my 13 month old. Still in the box until summer. Hopefully she'll like it. It's also a sand tray presume she far too young for that as she will just eat it.

I bought one last year for my DS, he was around 15/16 months. Only ever used outside as it'd be far too splashy indoors. He loved it, and still enjoys it :)

My 15 month old loves her sand/water table, wished Id bought one earlier!

Definitely a good idea. You can use it for other sensory stuff too (outdoors) like cornflour gloop, jelli baff, oats etc

Get one, she will love it. My youngest had one at around 15 months and still uses it now age 4!
