I have 2 super crafty girls. Sophia always wants to do a craft and asks just about every single day for us to come up with a new activity. So when our Step2 Cascading Cove Sand & Water Table arrived, I knew it was the perfect excuse for a new craft and what we had to make… sand! Well, not exactly sand, but DIY Moon Dough!
Last year at Sophia’s Dinosaur Birthday Party we turned our previous water table into a Dino Dig – any Junior Paleontologists’ dream toy.
Since we were sitting at home with no play sand to sift through to look for fossils, I decided to DIY moon dough – a project I’ve had pinned and wanted to try for awhile now! It turns out making moon dough is a super simple craft, yet provides hours of entertainment!
You simply take 8 cups of flour and 1 cup of baby oil and mix it together. VOILA – you now have DIY Moon Dough!
We doubled that and had plenty of Moon Dough to completely fill one side of our sand table.
No matter what you call it – Cloud Dough, Moon Dough, or Moon Sand… it’s a fun sensory play activity that will keep your kiddos entertained for awhile! It sculpts like a wet sand, but crumbles if you want it to.
And it makes the perfect Dino Dig material!
Now that you have a recipe for “sand”, let me share a closer look at our new Sand & Water Table!
The Step2 Cascading Cove Sand & Water Table has had a beautiful color update for Spring 2015. It also sports a 42 inch umbrella [that is removable], a double lid, and the capacity to hold 1o lbs of sand or 3 gal of water!
It’s really the perfect size water table for 2 children as it’s deep sides equal a large play space.

By far my favorite feature is the double lid. If you’ve shopped for sand and water tables you probably know that double lids aren’t always the norm, so that was the selling point for me. I was also delighted to see that the lid secures to the table with 2 small built-in cables on the side – perfect for keeping it sealed during Spring winds.
Luckily we enjoyed the sunshine and Spring-like temperatures a few weeks ago, during our Moon Dough Dino Dig, because today it’s 20 degrees outside with 4 inches of snow on the ground! But as you can see, that hasn’t stopped our Water Table fun!
Whether you’re playing with DIY Moon Dough, sand, water, or even snow – the Cascading Cove Sand & Water Table is sure to be a hit with kiddos. It retails for $89.99 and is also available for purchase on Step2.com.

My twin boys do not have a water table. But at the local park there is one and it is absolutely delightful for them. They would enjoy to have one of their own!
