If you are looking for a kit that is ready for you, try this one. I purchased this set on Amazon and used Bennett’s water table to fill it with the water beads and ocean toys. Bennett and his friends loved this simple activity. When they were finished, I transferred it to a tub for outside play all summer. We LOVE sensory bins.
