Aquaplay Lock Box

The Aquaplay Lock Box is a compact and portable water play system designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. With a clever folding design, this all-in-one set allows for easy setup, clean-up, and storage - making it ideal for educational settings. Children can join Wilma the Hippo on a fun water adventure by navigating her container boat through the lock system using the hand pump.:

The set features a functional crane to load containers onto the amphibian truck in the harbour, while the paddle wheel lets children control the flow of water through the canals. Built from durable, non-toxic, and recyclable plastic, the Lock Box promotes eco-conscious play, and its clever design keeps water contained, reducing the need for constant refilling.:

After play, the remaining water can be responsibly poured into the garden, teaching children about water conservation. This modular canal system is developed in Sweden and is fully extendable with other Aquaplay sets and accessories. It also includes easy-clean components and simple-to-follow instructions, ensuring a safe, hygienic, and enjoyable play experience for ages 3+ years.
