PVC Pipe Toddler Beds?
Hey everyone... I gotsa question. I am currently redoing my daycare spaces and am wanting to put in permanent toddler beds. I have a room that we are not using that could easily fit 3-4 toddler beds... I'd love to use it as an exclusive toddler/preschool nap room.
I was considering building simple box/platform type toddler beds, but now I'm thinking I could make some beds out of PVC pipe. I will be using a standard crib mattress with the beds. I can't find any plans online, though, so I think I'll have to wing it :eek: Any thoughts? Advice? My goal is to create an exclusive nap room for the older kids, but to keep it on the cheap (read SUPER CHEAP) as well as solve the problem of having to store bedding and nap mats every single day. I'm a single parent with too few hours in my day and I'm trying to find little things that will help me out throughout my days. |

Go to Pinterest and search for pvc toddler beds, there were a bunch. Didn't look at them all but it is a good place to start.

oooh so do you think a bed like that would hold up to a toddler? I mean, I'm sure dogs are rough on them, but we all know how kids can be :lol:

And I like that I can stack them up if I'm not wanting them spread out all over the room. If you didn't already have the mattresses and materials, it may get quite costly.
