Do your kids get use out of their child size picnic table?

Question

Do your kids have one of the child-size picnic tables? Do they use it? What do they do with it?

I am thinking of getting one used for $20 but I am not sure if it's worth it. It's not the tiny size, it's a little larger.

We don't really eat outside much, but maybe for ??? coloring or snacks?

Answer 1

my mom bought one for my sisters (3 and 8), and it has been sitting in our garage for years

but they do use it once in a while, to eat lunch or snack

and they do like to pile sand on top and play, or do messy activities like play doh and glitter on it

i would suggest getting one

Answer 2

We got one hand me down from a neighbor - our son (22 months) loves it and I think he will only use it more as he gets older.  We eat outside a lot, though, so it gives him his own space on our deck. :-)

Answer 3

We got one last year and we use it all the time.  They have snacks and lunch on it.  And if we eat dinner outside, they will sit there.  I love it.  It keeps the messy things of summer outside.  Popsicles, watermelon, cookies, snow cones, whatever is messy, they will eat outside.  $20 is a great price.  Go for it.

Answer 4

picnic tables are great

when we have cook outs their great!

we all at out side when we have cook outs

i love them then they dont get my table dirty

Answer 5

My oldest used his a lot as a child.  He did his building with legos on it, puzzles, reading, eating with buddys, and more.  After he outgrew it, I placed it on the dryer, and stacked laundry on it (I had to use a strong adhesive and replace it every once in a while, and my laundry area was out of sight).  The not really tiny ones that they can sit in from toddler age to age 5 or so are best.   We got the table with the table and chairs, not the picnic, all in one piece style, which I think would be harder for the kids to use longer.
