Good sensory tables for toddlers/young preschoolers?

[teapot100]

Looking for recommendations for sensory tables for toddlers/young preschoolers. Would like it to be able to accommodate 2-4 children at one time. I hope this is the right forum to post this!

I've been searching all over the web for one and can't seem to decide on what will work that costs no more than $250, hopefully with a lid and not too garish looking.

I have these and love them

we separate them and use two for water and two for sensory. you can have two kids at each one no problem. they have lids and have been great. the height is perfect even for a very young child.

Could you try to make your own? I made my own using ideas from Pintrest and scraps of fabric that I had laying around and took of some neighbors hands. I also used buttons (glued down), ropes, items from nature like stones or shells. All kinds of things. I just screwed it onto an small end table.

I made my own (that's a lie, I made my husband and his friend make it) using these plans:

We found everything at Home Depot except for the 3 way connectors--had to go to Lowe's for those. The kids LOVE it, and I'm about to change it tomorrow to a new fall theme!

PS: It literally cost exactly $35, and the instructions were 100% perfect!

I use large, shallow Tupperware. I put them either on the children's little tables or even on the floor. I have one filled with giant pom poms, plastic spiders and scooping toys right now.

Last month I had sand, plastic dino fossils, paint brushes, scoops.

Next week I am going to fill one with cornstarch and water and have oobleck out for the kids.

I have big fake leaves I will put in one with acorns next month.

We have been using a makeshift one that I made, but I'd like one that can be easily moved out of the way (no storage space otherwise) with a lid. It's been hard to find one that doesn't cost an exorbitant amount yet has good reviews. We have a group of people who want to make a donation to our center and this was something that we agreed upon. But what!?
