Right now, I mostly have preschool aged children and the table and chairs are just to small for them. What type of table and chairs do you use for this age? and Where did you by them?
thanks

I bought some end tables at Ikea for $7 each. Two tables fit togther nicely and the kids fit well. They come in lots of cool colors too. They are working out so well! I also got some nice wooden kids chairs there for about $15 each. My 4 year olds are very comfortable there.
I attached a photo. Hope I did it right!

Seashell, I love how those fit together! Which ones are they?
Probably won't help me anyway, lol. It seems like all the Ikea things I want, they don't ship. I live at least 3 hours away from any of the stores
I'd need a moving van if we took a road trip there!

Thanks so much! I may have to get those! Off to find your chairs too

Crud, I don't see them. Do you know what height yours are?

I don't see them either. I'll measure for you after nap. The kids are sleeping right next to them! Check back tonight!

What a clever idea!!! I have an Ikea right by my house and one of my DCM's works there! I'll definitely be looking into this!
Did you get the chairs at Ikea also? If not, where?

I was able to see the picture. Thank it really help. Actually Ikeas was the first place I thought for chairs and tables but I wasn't sure because of the height for children 3-5. Were all you children able to fit and use the table and chairs.?

Here's a really cool website that has furniture plans for free! I stumbled on this from one of my scrapbooking websites.

I have a daycare table, like what they sell at daycare stores, and I found it at a garage sale for $10! Came with chairs and everything. I know that was a lucky find.
