Child's Table


Making a table for a three-year-old.

Is there any particular Formica or other laminate that she can draw on with
crayons or dry marker and can be cleaned up?

Got that right. Butcher paper was what we got for ours. Draw/paint on one,
slick on the other side so it didn't soak through.

You didn't have to destroy a tabletop to put it on the fridge door, either.

This paint works well. I made a chalkboard for my daughter and used the
chalkboard paint. Working great so far :)

Doesn't work worth a damn for water paint.

I go to our local newspaper and purchase what they call 'end rolls' for
like $2 each. They are between 32" and 48" wide newsprint and typically
100' long. Perhaps your local paper sells the same?

I threw together a table with the top coated with this chalkboard paint,
and it's been working fine for the last 4-5 months.

My borg sells 2' x 4' sheets of whiteboard. Still, this seems a little
dubious -- teaching a 3 year old to write on tables... <g>
