A Toddler Activity Table provides hours of fun and learning opportunities for toddlers. The variety of options give you the convenience of finding an activity table for your toddler which will challenge, entertain, teach, motivate, intrigue, and will fit into a daily routine so you can provide time for your toddler on a regular basis.
Invite friends over for a playdate and provide a few ideas and the supplies then watch them take it from there. |
Homeschoolers are especially going to love the toddler activity tables as they will give younger children a head start when their older siblings are studying.
Toddler Activity Tables = Opportunities To Learn
toddler musical activity table
A Toddler Musical Activity Table is a great way to introduce music during playtime. Kids are naturally attracted to music and it can be used to teach them (ABC's for example). Songs can bring to life educational concepts, life skills, lessons about interpersonal relationships, and values you would like to pass on to your kids. Music is a natural learning vehicle which when used skillfully can enrich our lives and give us a closer connection with each other. There are few things as heartwarming as hearing a child singing a song they have heard or humming a tune they have composed. Providing opportunities to enjoy music early gives your child an additional language to interact with. I can not count the number of times I have heard someone speaking about a thought or experience and when they are at a loss for words they will conclude with a verse “like the song says” to communicate more.

water table for toddlers
Water Tables For Toddlers are also a great learning tool in a playtime setting. Water is science and life. The lesson plan potential which can result from using water as the catalyst for concepts is virtually endless. As with any toddler size life experience it is often wise to go with the flow while you are teaching and learning with your children. Let your imagination guide you along with life experiences and if you need a specific lesson topic you can review topics in math, science, stories, sports, and any combination of categories. Free time during play is just as important as structure so balance the two and you are sure to see amazing results. If you are at a loss for a new idea there are plenty of resources on the internet to spark some creativity.

sand and water tables for toodlers
Sand and Water Tables For Toddlers combine the water table option with sand or you can choose to use sand only. I can not count the number of times sand and water have worked together to bring about an amazing day. Imagine spending the day building sand castles. With a few tools you can be creating a virtual castle, a city, or a simple sculpture. Activities for toddlers are often best when bringing something so natural as water and sand into the equation. There are so many possibilities. As with other toddler activity tables on this page the educational potential can be tapped into infinity. If you are a homeschooling household, take out your lesson plan outline and as you read the general topic list think of ways water and sand can be used as a tool to communicate the concepts each topic is striving to teach.

toddler table and chair sets
Toddler Table and Chair Sets are fabulous for giving children a place to sit, play, work puzzles, write, draw, color, paint, read, or even have a snack. Many are multipurpose and some are designed for dedicated activities. Think about what you would like the set to be used for, what room it will be in, who will be using it the most often (which child or children). Check out the “How To Choose = What Questions To Ask” section (later on this page) for a list of important questions to ask, how to find the answers you may have about product specification details, customer reviews and ratings, and how each item has (or has not) earned awards in regard to current toy safety standards.
Art Tables For Toddlers
Art Tables For Toddlers are one of the favorites for children who enjoy any kind of art related activities. While the water, sand, and music style activity tables are inherently creative as well, there is something so simply meaningful about having a box of crayons and a coloring book to enjoy. I don't think the joy of a coloring book ends when we are grown ups. There are times along the way when we are drawn into a coloring session with kids and realize it is something we still enjoy. Since toddlers are still in the early exploration phase of life, choosing an activity table isn't going to be a complicated endeavor, when you look at what they currently have on hand and compare that to what is available then choose something which will add to their current tools or replace something which is ready to pass on or toss out.

It is a table, it is a kitchen, and it has plenty of storage space to be both and nicely fit into a play area. Give children a space where they can play in the kitchen without actually getting into the 'real' kitchen cupboards. I recall seeing a child spend hours playing with a couple of pots and a few cans of fruit. Toddlers still have a natural ability to transform the ordinary into extraordinary learning experiences. The Fisher Price brand has been a long time favorite and trusted creator of children's toys, educational tools, and play sets. One of the best things about this brand is durability. Another is a dedication to meeting or exceeding safety guidelines.
How To Choose = What Questions To Ask
- How many children will be using the set (at the same time)?
- Is it the right size?
- Is it sturdy?
- Does it fit into your decorating style?

One of the best things about the design of this table and chair set for toddlers is the storage area. If you are playing blocks, you can put extra blocks on the tray below the table. How about a place to put the day's activity materials and they will be handy so you do not need to miss a beat when you are changing topics. At some point in the day (likely many) you are going to notice a couple of topics overlapping each other, and this will give you an opportunity to integrate lessons to enrich the learning experience. Take a few moments and think about what kind of experiences you enjoyed when you were a child or watched other kids enjoy. That memory will give you ideas about how you can create a space for kids to have fun, learn, imagine, and develop.
