My daughter is 21 months old. Her grandparents purchased her the matching playhouse along with this sandbox. The sandbox I had seen in the store and liked right away. It is very roomy. I did not like the idea of a "crab" in my backyard so this was very appealing. My daughter has so much fun playing in this sandbox. We purchased a few inexpensive sand toys for her and now she would spend hours playing outside if we let her.
