This was Vanessa's Santa present-she loves water. She played with this sink for hours. It was raining outside so we put it in the dinning room on the hard floor. It's just water. She pushes a button and the water is pumped out the spout. It was a great toy for her. We have to be careful though because she wants to wash everything. If something is missing it is probably in her sink "getting clean". It will go outside in the summer.
