My kids are sooo excited about this Play Day Dino Play Center! It's like a water table on steroids. It's over 8 feet long. Plus, unlike a water table, the kids can actually sit and splash in it! Unfortunately, it's not really for swimming...it's more for getting wetting and having fun. It's winter time here now, but my kids really want to use it. It really does look perfect for a small child to have fun water play. It's nice that it's dino-themed so that it can work for a boy or girl. Both my son and my daughter love dinosaurs. It has a tiny slide (which would be more like a seat for a child who is bigger than a toddler size), a ring toss game, and inflatable eggs. The ring toss game comes with 2 inflatable rings that you throw onto the attached crab. I love how the blue dinosaur sprays water! You do have to attach it to a hose, though. The same blue dino is holding an inflatable ring for a "hoop" to throw the inflatable eggs into (it comes with 3 eggs). It's like a mini basketball game. This pool is great for ages 1-7, but I would say the target age would be two years old. If you have a baby, just make sure that they don't bite the pool and accessories as it can puncture. I was surprised that this play center even comes with a repair patch.... which will come in handy by the end of the summer! Overall, this is a fantastic activity for small children to have water play!
