DIY Lego Table
If you’ve been reading along lately, you’ll know we’re kind of eating, breathing, and sleeping Legos around here right now… Little Crafter is totally obsessed with them, so we’re busy planning for his Lego-themed birthday, not to mention the fact that I think he registered for just about every Lego set Target carries.
Hubby and I wanted to get him a nice Lego table as a birthday gift, but no matter how hard we looked, we couldn’t find what we had in mind. The closest thing we could find was about $70, and it only had one of the 10×10″ pads on it, right in the center. Around the edge, it was smooth and made to look like roads, which I guess was cool in its own right, but we really wanted the whole surface to be Lego pads so he could build on the whole thing.
So, we decided to make our own. First, we bought this simple Parsons Table from Walmart. It says online that it costs $18, but it was $13 in our store. It was also the easiest assembly project I’ve ever done!
That’s all there is to it! I think it’s the easiest project I’ve attempted in awhile! Especially compared to what I’ve got in the works for him for Christmas…And the total cost was just $35, instead of $70!
That’s awesome!!! My little one has been really into legos lately! I may have to copy this idea! 🙂
We are starting to think about Jackson’s “big boy” room now. This would be so fun to add to it!
Now you have to figure out how to attach some lego storage underneath 😉 aaaaand go!
love it! it’s on my list to do for our boys for Christmas.

Fabulous idea!!!
This is awesome!
Looks great, much better than one measly little lego pad! Lucky/ blessed little crafter. 🙂
This is awesome! I really need to make something like this for my kids. Thanks for sharing!
This is awesome!!! Where did you get the big green lego thingy…. sorry couldn’t think of the word
What a smart idea! 4x the lego awesomeness for half the price! Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
BTW all this lego stuff just made me remember, there’s a giant Lego store in Water Tower Place about 15 minutes away from where we live, and every time we go downtown to go shopping my husband always has to stop at the Lego store “just to look around”. 🙂 He’s going to be so happy one day if we have boys so he can buy Legos on the pretense that they’re for the kids!
Making these for Christmas presents for my kids. Doing a Duplo and a regular one, although the Duplo base won’t fit as nicely. Also, the tables really are the easiest thing ever to assemble! Love it!
They carry this table at Ikea, from the LACK line of furniture. Depending on the color you get they have them as cheap as $7.99 (green).(They also have red, black, white, grey and, birch.)
