Abstract: A play enclosure for interchangeable use as an artwork center, paper cutting and coloring area, a sand and water play enclosure includes an open top, rectilinear, box-like structure having short side walls as compared with a length and a width of the rectilinear structure. A peripheral shelf slopes inwardly from peripheral top edges of all sides of the open top of the rectilinear structure. The top surface of the peripheral shelf is spaced from a bottom of the enclosure and has an inward extension wide enough to function as a child's seat and a child's table surface. The peripheral shelf, in a preferred embodiment, has two corner cut-outs, at diametrically opposite corner regions of the peripheral shelf, adjacent an intersection of two side walls of the rectilinear structure. Each cut-out has a mouth open to a center region of the rectilinear structure. The shelf defines about the periphery of each cut-out, a peripheral groove open to the top surface of the shelf.
