Kids Picnic Tables - Just Their Size
Eating together as a family is one of the most important things that a family can do, and one thing a young child can enjoy. Young children eating at kid's picnic tables - just their size. Now that just takes the cake. Eating outside is even more fun at a table just their size.
A child size picnic table is something that just fits the picture. They have there own picnic table just for them. They can set and eat, play games, talk with friends, or read a book almost anything outside on a sun shinny day.
Now that you have seen the benefits of having kids picnic tables, whats next. Well there are lots of other things to think about now, like material that they are made from, like wood, plastic, or metal. They even come in folding tables if outside space is limited. You can even fold up the table and take it to someone else's house for a kids party.
I just remember being a small child and trying to sit at an adult size picnic table. Most of the time I had to have help to even get on the seat.Sitting at a kids picnic tables are so much fun. I could do it by myself, and sit and play by myself or even eat and play with my friends.
So, now it's time to make the kids happy, and get them there own table built just for there size. Let them eat and play on there very own table. Have a party and the children can sit at there own table.
Kids Activity - Table Shuffle Board
This game is a variation of the real thing. It is easy to make and very inexpensive. These are two things parents love to hear when dealing with anything. The game will give children ages 4+ a great time. They will have hours of enjoyment from this, and you will enjoy participating.
What you'll need:
1. You will need a table (perhaps a kitchen table or long rectangular picnic table as this can be done indoors or outdoors) or a concrete area around 4+ feet long. The area can be as big or as small as you want and will really depend on how old the participants will be.
2. You will also need masking tape for the table or chalk for the concrete area.
3. The next thing that you will need is some type of pucks. Each participant will need one and you can be color coordinated if you choose to have teams. We used small 5" and 3" plastic bowls from a kids toy kitchen.
Table Set Up:
1. Measure a 10 inch section from one end of the table and place masking tape all the way across the width of it.
2. Place a 10 inch piece of tape on the table to divide this section in half.
3. Then measure another slightly larger section and divide it in a similar manner. This will make 4 sections on the table and cover still less than half of it.
4. Assign a point value to each section with the higher point values on the smaller sections at the end of the table. Now you are ready to play.
How to play:
1. From the unmarked end of the table, have participants take turns sliding their pucks in an effort to make them stop in a point assigned area of the table.
2. LEAVE ALL PUCKS ON THE TABLE UNTIL EVERYONE HAS FINISHED.
3. If a puck knocks another puck ahead into another area it is now assigned that point value. Likewise, if a puck knocks another puck off the board the puck that is off the board is awarded no points.
4. The idea here is to add up all points after everyone has taken their turn.
5. If you use teams have one participant from each team take a turn. Then each round will consist of the same until everyone has had a turn.
