The Step2 Naturally Playful Sandbox is uniquely designed for outdoor use. It is made of durable plastic and has a lid that protects against weather elements and pets. No assembly required as it comes fully assembled. It holds a full 200 pounds of sand for lots of playtime enjoyment. Once the kids are grown the sandbox doubles as a large planter so the Step2 sandbox continues to be valuable. Compliments landscaping so it does not stick out as many of the plastic sandboxes do. There are four seats that allow children to sit and play which is a nice touch. The shape is rectangular so it makes the sandbox seem larger than it is. The lid is very high so it easily fits sand toys when it comes time to store these toys after playtime is over.

Step2 Naturally Playful Sandbox Review
Fits all the standard specifications parents look for in a sandbox such as durability, size and cost. Size because most toddlers have friends that want to play too, durability because who wants to replace one shortly after buying and cost because we all know that sandboxes can be expensive. The lid is sturdy enough to stay down even on windy days and does keep the rain out. Does everything a person would want a sandbox to do, hold sand, keep pets, bugs and moisture out and entertain little ones for hours. It does all those things while blending into the backyard instead of looking out of place like so many of the other large plastic toys do.
One complaint reviewers have is that once filled with sand, the sandbox cannot be moved. Another complaint is that the design on the lid also collects rainwater, which if not dumped on a regular basis could become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. These complaints are not enough to distract consumers from recognizing the value of this Step2 sandbox though because the positive features far outweigh any negatives.
The Step2 Naturally Playful Sandbox is highly recommended as a sandbox and for its future use as a planter by those who have purchased it and used it over time. It is a durable sandbox that keeps out pets and weather. It is large enough for two children to play in at the same time. The lid is dome-shaped so that it easily accommodates toy storage. The fact that the Step2 Naturally Playful Sandbox is neutral in color and is designed to look well in most landscapes is a nice plus for those who care about how their backyards look.
