Yeah, unfortunately, I spent a lot of time replacing the water in the
bowl,
lol.
Although when they were sitting in the high chair the tray contained some
of
the water so they could splash it around for a little bit. Would she
squish
some pudding  for a while or cool whip?

Aww that's too bad. I remember Allison when she was a baby would sit for
hours in my tupperware cupboard and put stuff back, take it out, put back
again, rinse and repeat. Although now that I think about it, she was
around
13-15 months because she was walking around the house with the lids and
stuff. Good that the new toy is working for a while.
