Kids Activity & Storage Table Woodworking Plans

We used to have a playroom in our basement but I took over the room for Lost Button Studio. So we moved the playroom into a bedroom upstairs. I didn't think to take a before photo, but for the last little while it has basically just been a room with some Rubbermaid containers full of toys. Here's what's new:

My husband made this table for Legos (we have a lot of Legos). There's a rail around the top so pieces don't fall on the floor and each side of the table has six drawers for storage. The drawers are on nice metal sliders so they are sturdy and pull all the way out.

My husband also made this big frame for a map we had and and a huge chalkboard. Oh, and I painted the walls.

Here's something I actually made...these stackable chicken coop cubbies for toy storage. I did the cutting, sanding, and finish on these. But my husband did help set up the equipment and figured out all the dimensions so I guess he still deserves credit too. I wish I could have made five (always better to have an odd number), but we only had the materials for four.

And here are the F-U-N collages on the wall. They are hanging above a half-size door that goes into a little cubby under the dormers. It has been a club house, recording studio, and reading nook. Someday I might paint in there and add a few throw pillows.

Not only does B spend a lot of time in here with his friends, but we have 22 nieces and nephews so this will be a fun place for them to play when they come over.
