Do-it-yourself children's desk sizes. How to make a children's table desk

And he soon needs to go to school, parents inevitably face the problem of arranging a comfortable workplace.

This affects his performance and health.. When the search for a suitable desk ends in failure (it takes up a lot of space, it is made of low-quality material, it does not match the height of the child, etc.), dads come to the idea that they should make something similar on their own.

A homemade children's desk that can be made, should be folded and save space, is not so difficult to make. However, a number of points must be taken into account.

What you need to know when making a desk for a student

When making furniture for the younger generation, whether it is a desk or a children's table, there are moments that cannot be ignored:

1. Environmental friendliness of the material. Preference is given to tree species: oak, pine, birch.
2. Accounting for the features of the anatomy of the student. You should not make a desk for growth, since the children's spine is not yet fully formed, and attempts to “adapt” to the height of the table will lead to scoliotic changes in it with the possibility of complications in subsequent years. The best option thanks to which the children's room will gain additional space is a transformer desk, which can be adjusted in height and angle of inclination with your own hands.
3. Convenience. A children's desk, created by the hands of parents, should be designed so that when sitting at it, the child does not rest his knees on the table top. If this happens, this is a signal that it is time for the desk to “grow” with him.
4. Adjustable table height and tilt angle. It is desirable that the school desk has a simple but reliable adjustment mechanism, accessible even to our child. If treated well, she can last all school years.

What to pay attention to when making

• Safety (all corners are rounded, the surfaces are polished, they do not have protruding parts for which the student could catch and injure himself or tear his clothes);
• The design of the children's table should not be catchy, so as not to distract the child's attention from educational activities;
• Covering the tabletop with glossy varnish is not welcome, as this can create glare at a certain angle of incidence of light, which negatively affects the student's vision;
• Stability (a children's table created according to their own project and with their own hands must be stable, not slip on the floor).

Preparation of the necessary materials and tools

For self-production of children's furniture, you will need a standard set of tools:

• hacksaw,
• clamps,
• a hammer,
• cutters,
• electric drill,
• sandpaper,
• measuring instruments (roulette, square),
• wood glue,
• screws.

The materials for work are as follows:

• plywood 10 mm,
• piano loops,
• axles for wheels 250 mm in diameter (if there is a desire for easy transportation of the table),
• wheels,
• putty,
• primer,
• enamel for painting.

If you live, then in order to make a children's table according to the original project, you will need to remember the drawing lessons and complete the drawings of the blanks with your own hands, then you should take them to the carpentry shop. This will save you from having to cut, which entails the appearance of fine wood dust and shavings. And from the finished parts, you can already start assembling the desk.

Instructions for assembling a desk for a student

1. First you need to cut out the front panel (provided that you do it yourself, work with a hacksaw at an angle of 35-40 degrees in relation to the surface), carefully pass along it with sandpaper and round off the upper corners.
2. Then they mark out places for a long piano loop (on the right) and a vertical bar (on the left). D
3. In order for the right folding wall of the desk to slam shut with the left, the bar is placed under the left loop. P
4. At the same time, the thickness of the sidewall should be 15-20 mm less than the plank.
5. The hinges and the bar are fastened with screws, glued with glue, the rest of the parts are connected using a groove system.
6. The side walls of the desk should have a special recess and grooves. They are made slightly wider than the thickness of the plywood itself, from which the structure is constructed.
7. In order for the grooves to be uniform in both sidewalls, the templates are pressed against each other with a clamp.
8. When assembling, the grooves of the cover and shelf (on the front pillar) and the seat (on the rear pillar) should enter these grooves.

You have seen that making a children's table is not at all difficult. In order for it not to interfere during the holidays, it is collected and placed in a special case-frame, which is also prepared for this occasion.

Making a case for an assembled desk

The frame is made of thin boards and plywood corners in such a way that the front panel can be placed in it, resting it on the crossbar. The other side of the frame is equipped with a stretchable cord (for example, from an expander) and corners for fixing the rest of the desk.

The frame is placed on wheels attached with improvised hinges (for example, from bent nails), into which a 250 mm axle is inserted (for example, from an old stroller). A handle is mounted on one of the sidewalls.

Desk decoration

Do-it-yourself children's table decoration is made using hot drying oil. While the first layer dries, prepare a putty mixture from:

• 1 kg putty,
• 10 g of bar soap,
• 30 g carpentry glue,
• 500 g of ground soap,
• 180 g drying oil,
• 0.2 l of water.

Water is boiled with glue, then, while stirring, pour in the remaining components. At the end, chalk is added for density. The mixture is applied hot, leveling with a spatula. After drying, it is sanded and painted over again.

And only after that it is possible to apply paint and varnish.

Recently, it has become fashionable to decoupage a children's table, but in relation to a school desk, this is not advisable, since unnecessary details will only distract the child's attention. If desired, the decor of the children's table can be made with your own hands on its sides, to harmonize with the surrounding interior.

For our granddaughter Masha, my son-in-law and I made an age-appropriate small school desk with our own hands and a comfortable chair where you can look through picture books, draw, sculpt from plasticine or lay out toys.

It took: 50 cm of a piano hinge confirmations self-tapping screws metal corners sawing a furniture board made of pine (for a desk, see diagram 1, for a chair - diagram 2).

Do-it-yourself drawings of a children's desk

Assembling a school desk with your own hands

To make all wooden parts very smooth, they were treated with sandpaper: first large P40, then medium P120 and smaller P220. All sharp corners were rounded with a jigsaw. Semicircular notches were cut out in the legs, so that the child, sitting at the desk, would be comfortable to stand up and turn left and right, without resting on his knees.

The legs were connected to the bottom of the box using confirmation mats and a screwdriver through pre-drilled holes, lowering the bottom 8 cm below the edge of the legs (Scheme 3). Then the front wall of the box was fixed so that its upper edge was flush with the legs, forming an even box. They attached the back wall of the desk to them with screws so that it protruded a couple of centimeters above the upper edge of the legs.

The tabletop was attached with a piano hinge (photo 1) to the back wall of the desk so that it could freely rise and fall and, leaning on the legs, formed a flat horizontal surface. This turned out to be a shallow drawer under the tabletop for storing albums, coloring books, pencils and other little things.

By the way
The protruding edge of the rear wall of the desk prevents pencils and felt-tip pens left on the tabletop from rolling and falling to the floor with the lid up (photo 2).

We assemble a chair for a set with a desk

The legs were fixed at an angle to the seat using a trapezoidal support board, which was inserted in the middle between them (Scheme 4). All parts at the joints were fixed with metal furniture corners to strengthen the connection (photo 3). The back was attached in the same way (photo 4). For stability on the legs, semicircular recesses were cut out in the supporting part. A groove was pre-cut in the seat for the back (photo 5). The latter was rounded in the upper part and a heart-shaped hole was cut so that the chair is easier to carry.

The furniture was varnished in two layers so that it can be easily washed from paints and spilled liquids.

On a note
To cut out a heart, they first drew it with a pencil on the back, then drilled holes along the inner contour with a drill and connected them with a jigsaw.

The surfaces of the assembled desk are sanded with a fine-grained sandpaper, moistened and stained with a stain.

As a lower fence, an aluminum strip with an arcuate edge is used, which is inserted into a groove selected by a circular saw with a slight indent from the front edge of the table top.

From below, a corrugated steel sheet is attached to the side walls of the desk, which acts as a support platform.

In conclusion, a footboard made of aluminum pipe is installed at the desired level.

Standing desk - drawings

Rice. BUT. To assemble such a desk, it is enough to connect the parts with glue and screws. The footboard can also be fixed with screws by screwing them from the side of the front edges of the side walls.

Rice. B. Adjacent edges of the tabletop and pencil shelves are adjusted to each other and connected on a rail.

How to make a children's table so that it is both an original desk for a child and at the same time a house for toys. In this article, we'll show you how to do it all in one day.

Many parents prefer to buy a ready-made table for the child and not strain. But there are those who simply cannot afford it. Or they like to do everything with their own hands and to the desired dimensions of their interior. The advantage of this table is its versatility. This is a desk, and a house for playing, and a place to store toys.

In order to make a wooden desk, you need to purchase material, a sheet of furniture chipboard, of a suitable color. And you can design it from the remnants of material from previous creations, or from unnecessary furniture. It is such an economical option that will be described in this article, and in addition, you can read what else you can do

Necessary tool and material


- Electric jigsaw (hand circular saw)
— Hacksaw for metal
- Manual milling machine (can be replaced with a drill bit for wood of the desired diameter)
- Drill
- Corner with ruler
- Stationery knife
- Roulette
- Pencil


Material
– chipboard
- fiberboard
— Self-adhesive film of suitable color
- End tape on chipboard, matching color
- Self-tapping screws or furniture screws, nails

accessories
— Piano loop 1 pc.,
— Furniture hinge 4 pcs.,

Let's move on to the dimensions of the parts and the drawing

First you need to sketch a drawing on paper, do not forget that you can change the dimensions if you wish.




— Sidewalls 2 pcs. (300 mm x 790 mm), the angle can be 90 - 60 degrees;
— Shelves 3 pcs. (520 mm x 300 mm), shelf length, taking into account the thickness of the side walls;
— Doors 2 pcs. (280mm x 120mm);
– Roof 2 pcs. (295mm x 600mm), you can make one half of the roof from fiberboard;
— Back wall 1 pc. (520 mm x 560 mm), it can also be lightened and cut from fiberboard.

Cut out the details of the table - the house
So, let's get to work. On the surface of the prepared material, draw the details in size with a pencil and cut them out with an electric jigsaw.


Attention! The width of the roof details must necessarily be wider than the main structure by two centimeters on each side


The ends at the cut point of the chipboard parts must be glued with an adhesive-based end tape. Attach the tape to the end and gently iron it with a hot iron, laying a sheet of paper between the tape and the iron. Cut off the excess tape with a sharp knife.

We connect the prepared parts

Making the foundation
Screw three shelves to one sidewall with screws. On the other side of the shelves, attach the second sidewall in the same way. In order to hide the screws, they must be sunk into the body of the material. To do this, drill in the right place of the recess with a drill exceeding the diameter of the screw head. On the front side, the hats can be puttied, if after that it is planned to decorate the butt. Otherwise, use furniture screws with plastic plugs or stickers. It turned out the frame of the future desk



Installing the roof
We take a piano loop and measure the desired size, cut off the excess with a hacksaw for metal. We fasten the loop to the upper shelf and the sidewall of the roof at the level of the chipboard thickness. In order that, when laying out the table, the loop would not separate the working area of ​​the desk.
The second part of the roof is simply screwed to the base.



We install the doors
Table doors can be attached both to the piano hinge and furniture hinges. It must be remembered that when using a piano hinge to fasten the door, limiters must be set.
Consider the second method of fastening - a furniture loop.
Important! The doors must be of the correct size, as they serve as the leg of the folding table.

To fix the door with a furniture hinge, a milling machine was used (or use a special drill). Handles can be made both in the form of holes (decorate them for children's style), and screw any furniture.
We simply nail the back wall of fiberboard.

decoration
All visible parts (optionally also internal) can be painted or pasted over with a decorative self-adhesive film. In order for the film to hold for a long time and stick as tightly as possible to the product, it is necessary to use a soft cloth and a hair dryer.

The children's desk is ready, so it looks assembled and looks more like a house:


And this is how it looks disassembled and looks more like a desk or table:

Do-it-yourself children's desk, drawings, description and assembly procedure. The proposed model will be able to serve your child for a long time up to the senior classes.

If your child has gone to school, then you are faced with the acute question of choosing a desktop or desk for his normal development. Correct posture and reduction of eye strain require an individual approach when choosing a workplace that can adapt to the growth of each student.

Side view (maximum table extension)

Side view (minimum table extension with table top rotation)

• adjust the height of the table from 570 to 720 (mm), the adjustment step is 50 (mm)
• adjust the tilt angle of the table from 0° to 90° (the maximum angle is set theoretically), the adjustment step is 5°

Components of a children's desk:

• base
• table top lifting mechanism
• countertop

BASE

We will make from a planed board. From the inside of the guide board, at the end, we mill a groove measuring 10x10 (mm). The sharp edges of the parts are rounded off. We fasten the parts of the legs together with:

• threaded studs GOST 22042-76;
• enlarged washers GOST 6958-78;
• wing nuts GOST 3032-76

for M8 thread.

Attach the top shelf and footrest to the legs with wood screws

or confirmations.

LIFT MECHANISM

We will make from a planed board. From the outer sides of the guide board, at the end, we mill grooves along the edges with a size of 10x10 (mm). We drill through holes with a diameter of 20 (mm) in the center.

WORKTOP

We will make from glued wood or plywood.

We will make the rotary mechanism from sheet metal with a thickness of 2 (mm) and attach it to the table top with wood screws. Alternatively, it can be made from wooden bars.

Assembly order:

1. We insert the lifting mechanism into the grooves of the base.

2. We fix the tabletop to the lifting mechanism with the help of studs, washers and M8 nuts.

The children's desk is assembled with their own hands. Using the proposed concept for the design and construction of the structure, you can modify and supplement the model yourself with various shelves, pencil cases and glasses for stationery.

Types of transformers

Furniture that most often acts as a transformer:

A few examples of transformer tables:

Coffee table-transformer

Computer table-transformer

Important! When choosing a transformer, special attention should be paid to the safety of the product in order to exclude any possibility of injury during assembly and disassembly of the structure. Sharp edges and protruding metal elements are not allowed.

What can a transforming table be made of

Wood Tables made of wood are the most advantageous and simple in execution. For this, a simple solid wood and sheet wood-based panels (plywood, chipboard, MDF, fiberboard) are used. Plastic Possible for a transforming table, but not a very aesthetic option. Metal an option would be to use tempered glass for the manufacture of transformer tables. Such tables are aesthetic, safe and have an original appearance.

To make a small chest of drawers (for 4 drawers) you need the following:

Materials and accessories

handles-brackets for all drawers (including two fake ones) - 6 pieces; furniture wheels - 8 pieces; wheel supports - 8 pieces; ombre hinges -4 pieces; hinges and hinges for countertops; ball guides (400 - 2 sets, 450 - 4 sets); wood dark-colored boards for the tabletop, outer side legs (on wheels), inner side legs, middle wall (between drawers), chest of drawers bottom, drawer walls and 2 long walls, along which the upper false drawers will move to the sides; light-colored wood boards for the front side of the drawers (+ 4 false drawers on both sides) and the back wall of the chest of drawers. The length of the back wall is equal to the length of two boxes. The rest of the space on both sides of the chest of drawers is occupied by a long wall along which fake drawers move; a thin wood board for the bottom of all drawers.

pencil, square, tape measure; electric jigsaws or wood saw; screwdriver or screwdriver; hexagons; drill with various nozzles (including Faustner cutter 15 mm); self-tapping screws (14 mm - 20 pieces, 30 mm - 50 pieces);

Stages of work

Step 1. We draw and cut out all the details of the future chest of drawers.

Step 2. Draw and fasten retractable ball guides (400) on the side walls. On the middle wall, we fasten the guides on both sides.

Step 3. We fasten the middle wall exactly to the middle of the bottom of the chest of drawers.

Step 4. We fasten the side inner walls, the back wall and the bottom of the chest of drawers.

Step 5. We collect all the walls of the boxes, fasten the handles-brackets to the front sides (including fake ones).

Step 6. On the inner (which will be inside the chest of drawers) two corners of all the boxes we attach 2 balls from the guides (on which our boxes will roll).

Step 7. Screw the rails (450) onto the false drawer wall and onto the back of the false drawers. We fasten the long walls to the side inner walls.

Step 8. We fasten the furniture wheels to the bottom of the chest of drawers and to the side outer legs.

Step 9. We fasten the outer side of the false drawers to the outer legs of the chest of drawers and slide them into the folded position (put them on the functional drawers).

Step 10

For a dining table, this design is quite complicated. Most often, a chest of drawers is used when it is not possible to purchase a kitchen or dining table or when making a huge transforming table (more than 2 meters long).

The second version of the dresser table differs not only in size (700 x 900 cm when folded, 2100 x 900 cm when unfolded) and the number of drawers, but also in the transformation mechanism.

The side inner walls are maximally expanded to the distance of the length of the false boxes.

The tabletop in the unfolded state consists of 3 parts - left, middle and right. Folding, the left side lies on the middle.

The tabletop rotates 90 degrees. The right part falls on the back wall of the dresser (hangs parallel), and the parts folded on top of each other form the upper surface of the dresser.

Wheels are attached for the convenience of moving our chest of drawers, but they are not required. When the tabletop turns into working condition, it lies in the positioning pins, which completely exclude its further rotation.

An interesting idea of ​​​​a portable folding transformer table - an ironing board built into a closet - is presented in this video:

The magazine-lunch option can be found most often, because the number of friends and acquaintances who come to visit increases over the years, but the living space does not.

The transforming dining table is hardly noticeable and does not detract from valuable space.

On ordinary days, it plays the role of a coffee table, and on holidays it turns into a real dining table. In order to seat 5-7 people, a few simple manipulations are enough. This is the right ergonomic furniture for a studio apartment, when all the space is connected into one.

When creating a coffee table - a workplace, a different type of countertop is used. It does not need to unfold completely or change shape.

This version of the transforming table turns into a desk, taking the required height. Additionally, furniture is equipped with drawers to store stationery. Depending on the system of fasteners, the table can be given several positions.

Models with smooth adjustment mechanisms are more convenient to use. With their help, you can organize a workplace in any corner of the apartment.

The table-storage system has an original design. It consists of two or three drawers and a table top. The table opens by turning around its axis.

Table frame

Duration of operation depends on its durability. Frames come in different materials:

wooden; metal; with plastic parts.

Structures made of metal and wood are considered the most reliable.

They withstand repeated folding and unfolding cycles well. Frames with plastic components are cheaper, but do not withstand long-term operation. But if the table will rarely transform, this option can be considered.

They serve as a support, so they must withstand a large load, which increases when the table is unfolded.

Wooden poles also handle the load well. This option is suitable for classic interiors.

Additionally, you should familiarize yourself with what countertops are. The appearance of the product depends on the material from which the top is made.

Project cost:

Transformation mechanism - from 3 thousand rubles. Chipboard panels for tabletops and legs - from 500 rubles. Fasteners - from 50 rubles. A set of screws and self-tapping screws - from 200 rubles.

A folding table can really be made for $100.

Manufacturing consists of several stages:

Choosing a folding mechanism. Creating a project. Cutting parts from a chipboard panel. Initial fitting of parts. Installing the frame. Installing the table supports. Installing the tabletop.

To make a high-quality transformer table, it is better to create drawings in special computer programs. They not only draw the layout of future furniture, but also calculate how much materials are needed and create a cutting map. The programs are quite simple to manage, so the creation of the project will take one to two days.

The number of parts and their dimensions can be ordered at the same store where chipboard panels are sold. The cut strips will only need to be bolted together, after which the transformation mechanism is installed. For even installation, it is necessary to make markings with a pencil before drilling holes for the screws.

The finished table will not differ in any way from store exhibits if you choose a high-quality transformation mechanism and materials for the frame. Such furniture should be chosen if you do not know how to create a functional design for a one-room apartment for a family with a child. When folded, the table will occupy a minimum of space, leaving room for children's games.

We make a table for the child with our own hands

Given the fact that the baby is growing up and he has new needs, you need to carefully consider every piece of furniture that is in the children's room. The children's table is no exception. After all, behind him your child will continue to learn the world around him, draw, sculpt, read and do various crafts.

Work materials

If you decide to make this piece of furniture yourself, then you will need the following tools and materials:

• Solid wood leaf 60x40 centimeters;
• Bars for the frame 4 pcs.;
• Legs with a section of 4x4 centimeters 4 pcs.;
• Electric drill;
• Set of end mills;
• Clamp;
• A hammer;
• Hacksaw for wood;
• Carpentry knife;
• Sandpaper;
• Furniture varnish;
• Joiner's glue;
• Ruler;
• Furniture pins.

Important! If you have an old table, then you can use its parts to make a children's table with your own hands.

Before starting work, it is very important to determine the height of the future table. The most comfortable height is the one at which your child sits with a straight back, while placing his elbow on the tabletop and easily touches his temple with his finger.

Important! In order to choose the right table height as correctly as possible, you can use special tables that indicate the recommended standards for the manufacture of tables and chairs for children of different ages.

Work execution algorithm

When creating a children's table with your own hands, drawings and diagrams can be taken ready-made. You can find them on construction sites or forums.

We offer you a general scheme of work:

• Saw off the legs taking into account the height. If they narrow towards the bottom, then you can file them. This must be done in such a way that the future table is strong enough and stable.
• Prepared legs are attached to the elements of the power frame using end mills. During assembly, it is necessary to mark the places for the grooves, and then combine the paired elements.
• Next - in the marked place you need to drill a non-through hole.

Important! The depth of the hole should be a third of the thickness of the workpiece, and the diameter should be the thickness of the future groove.

• Leg blanks must be alternately clamped in the clamp and the maximum wood should be selected with the end mill. This must be done carefully until a smooth groove of the desired size is obtained. As a result, you will have 8 grooves on 4 legs.
• Using a ruler, it is necessary to measure the dimensions of the groove and make the appropriate markings on the bars for the power frame.
• Using a carpenter's knife and a hacksaw, you need to correct the ends of the power frame, while creating “spikes” that will easily fit into the grooves of the legs.
• At the end, you should make a control assembly of all elements.

Important! During the test assembly, you have the opportunity to make changes and adjustments so that the table does not turn out to be unstable.

• The final assembly must be carried out similarly to the control one, only pre-lubricating the attachment points with special furniture glue.
• After everything is dry, you should fix the countertop. To do this, in the center of the legs you need to drill a hole for the furniture pin. And on the reverse side of the tabletop - deaf holes.
• Lubricate the pins with glue and connect them into a single structure.
• The finished table must be sanded with fine sandpaper and coated with several layers of varnish.

Table with lifting lid

After you have made a simple model of a children's table, it is ready for use. But if you want to make a more functional option, we suggest you equip it with a lid. Thus, the child will have an additional place to store their stationery and other small things.

To make such a table:

• Take a wooden tabletop. Its dimensions should be 90x45 centimeters.
• From bars measuring 5x5 centimeters, you need to build a frame.
• Take two pieces 8 and 4 centimeters long. Fasten them together with nails.
• Insert another piece in the middle.
• The tabletop must be attached to the front of the frame using articulated furniture hinges.

Important! You can replace furniture hinges with regular door hinges.

• To create a lifting and adjusting mechanism, it is necessary to fix bars with dimensions of 20 and 40 centimeters in a vertical position on the lid. They must be placed on the opposite side.
• In order for the cover to be fixed in different positions, it is necessary to nail 2-4 furniture hooks to the bars. Next - insert one bolt into the base of the frame so that they partially protrude.
• All parts are treated with sandpaper and varnished.

We make a folding wooden table for children with our own hands

To create such a table model, you will need the following materials:

• 4 boards measuring 6x2 centimeters and 72 and 32 centimeters long;
• Tabletop of 2 parts;
• Joiner's glue;
• Electric drill;
• furniture pins;
• Sandpaper;
• Dowels.

Important! This model does not take up much space and is suitable for small apartments.

The sequence of manufacturing a folding wooden table is as follows:

• From the boards make 2 frames. They will "play" the role of the legs.
• Using a stencil, drill holes for future fastening in the end sections of the boards.

Important! It is necessary that the lower crossbar of the frames be raised above the floor by 5 centimeters.

• Details should be connected in frames with pins.
• Pour wood glue into the hole and connect the parts into frames. Fasten them together with loops.
• Drill a hole in the wall for the dowel.
• Fasten the first part of the tabletop to the wall. Under it, you need to place a vertical folding frame.
• The second part of the tabletop must be hinged to the first and laid out on top of the support frame.

Important! At any time, you can lift the second part of the tabletop and fold the frames. Then the movable element of the tabletop is lowered, and the table will take up less space.

We make a children's table from a furniture board with our own hands

This model is very simple and consists of a tabletop and legs.

Important! For the manufacture of legs, you can use bars measuring 4x4 centimeters.

As a countertop there will be a furniture board measuring 40x80 centimeters. This is already a complete set. In order to attach future table legs to the table top:

• You make the markup of future auxiliary elements.
• From the end of the tabletop you need to indent about 5-6 centimeters.
• From the bar you make blanks of the desired size by sawing.
• Using wood glue and self-tapping screws, connect the bars according to the markings.
• We fix the finished legs in the same way to the countertop.

Important! In order for the self-tapping screw that secures the leg not to “break through” the tree, it is necessary to install a metal corner.

• The finished product is varnished.

Making a table out of cardboard

If you do not like working with wood, then you can make a table out of cardboard. For this you will need:

• Box from under furniture or household appliances;
• Cardboard tubes - they remain after the foil or cling film has ended;
• Stationery knife;
• Glue.

Operating procedure:

• Cut open the box.
• Measure 5 pieces with rounded edges and measure 55x35 centimeters.
• On 4 parts, make marks of circles, taking into account the diameter of the tubes. Cut them out.
• Fasten these elements together.

Important! In order for the glue to “grab” well, the workpiece must be pressed down with a press and left to dry completely.

• Try on the tube blank. They should go in quite tightly, so adjust the hole if necessary.
• Glue the 5th part to the workpiece. Put it under the press again.
• Spread the edges of the tubes with glue, glue to the finished tabletop. Leave for a while until completely dry.

Important! Decorate with self-adhesive paper and various appliqués.

Making a baby chair

It is very important to make a set of table and chair at once. Such a headset will not only please your baby, but will also be functional, which is important for a loving parent. How to make a children's table - we have already told you, but for a high chair you will need the following tools and materials:

• Solid wood;

Important! It is best to use beech, birch or pine. They are quite hard, but easy to work with.

• Bars 2x2 or 5x5 centimeters;
• Boards 2.5 centimeters thick;
• Furniture shield - for this you can use a sheet of plywood or chipboard;
• dowels;
• Hacksaw for wood;
• Screwdriver;
• Sandpaper or grinder;
• A hammer;
• brushes;
• Lacquer or paint.

Important! Before you start making a chair, you need to make sure that you have taken the measurements correctly. If not, then you need to increase or decrease them proportionally, since the stability of the future product depends entirely on the ratio of height and width.

Making a drawing

2. Further - for the test, the baby should be seated on some object that is equal to the height of the chair.
3. In this position, measure the distance between the floor surface and the child's elbow. This will be the height of your table.

Important! Taking into account the fact that children grow very quickly and in order for the future table to serve for several years, a few centimeters should be added to the current height parameter.
