I couldn't believe how cheap and easy it was to turn an IKEA table into a pretty awesome Lego table for my little man...... and all for only $70 (USD).

- IKEA Children's FLISAT table ($49.99)
- 2 x IKEA TROFAST storage boxes ($3 each)
- 2 x IKEA TROFAST storage boxes ($3 each)
- Creative QT peel-and-stick building block baseplates x 2 ($29.95 for pack of four)

How does it work:
For starters I should probably point out that I am awful at anything DIY related, especially furniture assembly. This was so incredibly easy to make though, it literally took me 20 minutes. The FLISAT table itself is just four screws and then the legs twist in and it is complete. Whilst I was building it my son of course enjoyed the large cardboard box it came in.
I was lucky enough to win four of the Creative QT peel-and-stick baseplates and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I don't have any affiliation to the company so I am being very genuine when I say that the product is of the highest quality. You literally just peel the plastic off the back of the plate to reveal an extremely adhesive grey surface and then you push it down hard on the table. If the white table top panels are a little dusty it is worth following the instructions on the baseplate packet to give them a bit of a wipe down.
That was it, we were all set and my son was chomping at the bit to start building! We dumped his lego into the TROFAST boxes and away he went. The table is a great height for toddlers and I love the fact that the storage is all part of the table (i.e. I am not having to spend an hour on my knees clearing up and stepping on lego bricks).
The thing I love about this table is the opportunity to have contrasting baseplates side by side. For example, we recently did a big and small sorting activity using the baseplates as the sorting boards. I'm also looking forward to my son attempting to build towers and bridges linking the two baseplates.

I generally think of instructional content as dull but necessary for literacy. Intriguing instructional papers like this are rare. This material is instructional without being boring and intimidating. Thank you.
