UPCYCLED KIDS TABLE MAKEOVERS!
Mosaic Mirror Table Top Makeover – from Making Things is Awesome
First but of course not the best… (wink), My mosaic mirror kids table! Super fun project that you can make from an old table and an old mirror. Just make sure the edges are all covered in grout, so the kiddos don’t cut themselves. Unlike a few spots on my old table… wooomp woom! It needs to be fixed. But cute… fun… and the kiddos love having a fun tea party on it! Check out the tutorial linked above!
Recover a Kids Table – from A Girl and A Glue Gun
This is such a cute update on a cute worn out top on a kids table. I wish I had a cute princess table to recover. lol! I love the black polka dots! It reminds me of the Dalmatian print that is so on trend right now! Matched with that pink is super cute.
This table recover is super easy to do, and this technique could be used to cover more than just a table top, such as the seat covers! Love the little tops of the chairs too!!
Create a cool kids table set – from Habitat by Resene
Super cute and modern table and chair makeover that was created with paint and a chalk pen! Then it was sealed so it wont smudge off! Such a great idea! You could use chalk board paint for the table top, to create a surface for the kiddos to draw on too! I love an easy painted project that turns out looking modern and awesome!

DIY Children’s Mosaic Storybook Table – From Pinterest
I for the life of me, can not find the source of this photo, but it was to beautiful not to post! If anyone knows who created it I would love to give them credit for such a beautiful mosaic table! It has inspired me to create something like this… maybe recover our coffee table in the kids play room! Love it so much!
I believe that it is made from cut out paper pieces of old children’s books. But I don’t know what it is covered with?!?! Maybe Mod Podge type of product? Or if the top had a lip on the edge you could cover it in epoxy (like another fun table project below). Isn’t it just beautiful?!?!
How to Make a Lego Table – from Domestic Imperfection
This Lego Table is AWESOMENESS! I’m sure one of these older style coffee tables are not hard to find at a yard sale or in your family basement! I love that there are two spots to play to reduce kid fighting! And lots of room underneath for baskets or containers of Lego! My kiddos would love this DIY project.
It could also be updated with the smaller Lego mat as the kiddos grow out of the Mega Block Legos!
Portable DIY Lego Table – from Craft Your Happiness
Another awesome Lego Table Idea! And it’s portable! You can enjoy sitting on your favorite couch while building your Lego empire! And super customizable! You could make one for each kid in your house with their own name on it! No fighting over Lego would be a dream! Lol! Easily folded up to store away too! Super Awesome!
Repurposed Cot – from A Little Learning For Two
Upcycle an outgrown crib into an awesome craft station for the kiddos! Paint the tabletop area with chalkboard paint, and use hooks to hang up all of their supplies! A creative way to upcycle the old crib that is just taking up space in your storage! And if your family ends up having another baby, it’s easily converted back into a crib by adding the one side rail back! So fun!
Create an Activity Table Set for Kids with Mismatched Furniture – from DIY Beautify
Create a matching set of kids table and chairs out of a random table and chairs with some fun cute paint, is a great addition to this list of upcycled kids table makeovers! This mix matched set now has new life as a matching kids creative seating area! Use up the cans of half empty paint that you have from other projects around your house, and you have an inexpensive (possibly free) new set of kids furniture! Totally Rad!
Epoxy Filled I-Spy Table – From Pinterest
This table top is soooooo fun! One of my favorite table top makeover finds, that I just had to add to my list of fun upcycled kids table makeovers, but I can not find the original source! If anyone knows who made this beautiful kids table please let me know, so that I can link to them! Thank you!
So I believe that this table is filled with awesome small kid friendly items and then filled with epoxy! All you would need is a table with a lip on it to hold all the epoxy in and a bunch of fun kids items, that your kids wont mind not being able to play with ever again! Lol! Such a fun Seek and Find table idea!
I found a link to a project that looks a lot like this one, found on the Blog A Beautiful Mess called DIY Epoxy Resin Coffee Table. You could use this tutorial to create a fun kids table too!
Discarded Sink Turned Sand & Water Table – from Tattered and Inked
Have an old sink? You could totally make a beautiful fun painted kids sand and water table! I looooove this idea to add to the list of upcycled kids table makeovers, but it makes me wish that we didn’t buy one of those plastic sand and water tables last year. This one is so much cooler, and I love the colours that were used! I also love the storage area underneath for all the extra toys! Awesome outdoor kids table!
You could add a table top cover to this awesome set, to keep animals and bugs out of the water and sand, which would also double as an outdoor table top for the kids to create or eat at! So many options here for an upcycled outdoor kids table!
