Kids Art Table

Here's a universally-applicable truth: Little things are cute. When you have children living in your home, that gives you license to purchase all types of little things - little beds, little shoes, little forks - and even little tables. Think about it: Kids love to draw - and setting them up with a safe, attractive, and easy-to-use space to cultivate that love for creativity can set them up for a lifetime of creating beautiful things!

More practically, investing in a kids art table will also keep your children from drawing on your walls, floors, or other pieces of expensive furniture. The types of children's craft tables that come with storage can even house their supplies, so they're not all over your house - making this type of furniture purchase a win-win for you and your loved ones.

(Wouldn't it be nice to know that your children have one easy-to-organize place for all of their craft supplies? The answer is just a click away!)

Kids art table designs often come with tiny chairs as well as storage sets, hutches, and other accessories. However, purchasing these pieces does take some consideration. Here's the thing: Kids grow. While small things are cute, you likely also want to make sure that your child can use these types of activity tables as long as possible, to protect your investment.

Here's what you need to know:

  • Consider the type of activity your child will be completing before you purchase an activity table. Today's activity tables come with a wide range of finishes and accessories. For example, if your child will be doing school activities or drawing a lot on their art table, it might be a good idea to get one that has a white board or chalk board inset into its top.

  • Storage is always a good idea. Unless you're going for a sparse, minimalistic vibe, it's a good idea to look for pieces that have lots of drawers and boxes so your child can put their art implements away at the end of the day.

  • Plan out the shape you need before you buy. If you're fitting your child's art desk into a corner, a square or a rectangle will be the best way to go; on the other hand, if you have more room to spread out, a circular table can give the room more visual interest. Measure out the amount of room you have available before you shop - it'll help you narrow your choices right out of the gate.

  • Consider specialized table shapes, too: For example, a horseshoe-shaped table can give your child a curved space to work that doesn't take up the entire room.

  • A durable material is key. For children's art desks, we like a laminate or a plastic finish for ease of maintenance.

  • Finally, a pro tip: If you go for a square or rectangular table, look for curved or rounded edges and corners, just for safety's sake.
