A nice spin on a baby toy I would have otherwise purchased

So my friend sent me a picture of her son at daycare playing at a water table. I instantly thought - i would love to get something like that for my little one. I started looking online on amazon and I found one I wanted :

The problem came when I looked at the reviews. Everyone warned not to leave water in it when the kids aren't playing. It was a perfect breeding ground for Mosquitos. Then I thought - I could just only fill it when my daughter was playing with it . But wait - do I want that responsibility? I quickly got an image of this toy sitting upside down in the yard because I would be avoiding having water collect in it! Ugh that's just too much work . Then I spoke to one of my mommy friends and she suggested I get a roasting pan full it with water and put her bath toys in it whenever I wanted her to play with water outside . Problem solved lol!
