Introducing the NEW Sensory System!

What if one piece of furniture provided a platform for every type of indoor and outdoor play? Move, reach, scoop, pour, transfer, draw, create, experiment, and explore! This is not your average sand and water table!

What makes it the best?

It’s all in the details! We took the best parts of traditional sand and water tables and added levels, multi-purpose play surfaces, and intentional details to create the ultimate activity center.

Create Hands-On Learning Moments with a Sensory Table

Children learn through touch, movement, and exploration. A well-designed sensory table gives them a space to pour, scoop, splash, sift, and experiment, turning everyday play into meaningful discovery. The Guidecraft Sand and Water Table Sensory System is crafted to help toddlers and young children explore textures, patterns, cause-and-effects, and early science concepts in ways that feel natural and joyful.

Why Sensory Tables Matter

A Sensory Table offers endless opportunities for hands-on learning. Children naturally engage with sand, water, stones, scoops, funnels, and everyday tools. These simple materials help strengthen fine motor skills, support sensory integration, and boost early STEM thinking.
