Can this also be filled with sand, rice, etc to use during colder months as well?

I guess it could, but the features are designed for water, it probably won't be as fun unless you have your own separate sand toys to use with it (I.e small bucket and spade ).

Too soon to answer this was bought to use in the summer to fill with water.

Sure. As long as the filler material is totally dry and granular, there should be no problem. Keep in mind, however, that rice is organic and will eventually deteriorate, and you don't want children trying to taste or eat it.

Yes, think beachball. You can fill it all the way up or just a small amount.

yes, just make sure the temp difference between outside and inside isn't great. Like is shouldn't be freezing outside

Sure, put it in a cold oven and bring to temp together, leave in oven when done allow to cool with oven.

I live in Arizona so I keep water in it but sand will work in colder climates. The core is surrounded by foam so it won't affect the impact to your hands and feet.

It could be used with sand, but it has no cover. I think using water is better.

I don't see why not. The heat makes it warp slightly. If it rains hard, it'll likely get water inside. I don't think cold temperatures would hurt it.

Hi Nafeesa, This really is a lovely birdbath, but I wouldn't leave water in it if the temperatures are below freezing. The ceramic can crack. I will sometimes put water in during the day and empty it out at about sundown. Hope this helps!

Yes it can. We have done so for many years. As long as it does not freeze you should be OK.

use a small sewing pin and poke a few holes in a gallon zip lock baggie for storage. You can also do the same with a tupperware type container, poke some small holes in the lid to allow the sand to "breathe".

COLD YES. UNSURE ABOUT HEAT AS MADE OUT OF A POLY PLASTIC. I WOULD NOT. Does not mean you can not.

Yes, you can fill them with sand or water but, realistically, it doesn't seem necessary. They are VERY heavy!

You probably could, but you wouldn't be able to use it in below freezing temperatures. You would have to drain it, which is easy as it has a valve designed for it.

Absolutely. In back there is a switch for exactly that purpose. So you can have cold and hot, or cold and room temp.

I bring mine in for the winter but they are very sturdy so I can't see why you couldn't use them in the winter.

I wouldn't think so. It is made very well however it would be breakable if that cold. I bring mine in during late fall.

You can fill it with sand or water, but why would u want to ? I bought this and returned it soon as I opened the box. It look like a toy for kids to play with, cheap plastic.
