Kids Table Plans

This step by step diy project is about kids table plans. Building a small table for your kids is a basic project that can be done by any person with the right skills. If you want to surprise your kids with a nice table and chairs set, we recommend you to pay attention to these plans. Nevertheless, only proper planning will keep the costs under control and help you get the job done as a professional.

It is essential to choose the right materials before starting the construction and the assembly of the kids table. As you will see in the project, you need to choose durable lumber with a nice appearance, such as pine, cedar or redwood. Make sure the components are in a good visual condition and choose professional tools when adjusting their size. Take accurate measurements and join the components with glue and screws.

Kids table plans

Building the table frame

The first step of the woodworking project is to build the frame of the kids table. As you can easily notice in the plans, we recommend you to build the legs out of 2×2 lumber, while the aprons should be made out 1×4 lumber.

Drill pocket holes at both ends of the aprons and insert 1 1/2″ screws into the legs, after making sure the corners are right-angled. Add waterproof glue to the joints, if you want to enhance the rigidity of the structure.

Building the tabletop

The next step of the project is to build the tabletop out of 1×8 slats. In order to get the job done in a professional manner, we recommend you to drill pocket holes through the slats and to lock them together tightly with 1 1/4″ screws.

Make sure you add waterproof glue between the slats, if you want to create a rigid structure. Smooth the cut edges with sandpaper and align them at both ends with great attention.

Attaching the tabletop

One of the last steps of the project is to attach the tabletop to the frame. As you can see in the image, we recommend you to lay the tabletop on a level surface and to lock it to the frame with screws.

Drill several pocket holes through the aprons before inserting the screws into the tabletop. Center the tabletop to the frame before inserting the screws, if you want to get the job done in a professional manner.

One of the last steps of the woodworking project is to take care of the finishing touches. Therefore, fill the pilot holes with wood putty and smooth the surface with 120-grit sandpaper.

Top Tip: In order to protect the lumber from water damage, we recommend you to cover the components with several coats of paint. Place the wooden kids table in a proper location and move it whenever necessary.
