Activity Table Uses

A raft of tables, a slew of solutions

You're in the dentist's office, and the fidgety, squirmy kid next to you starts whining, but then he spots the bead maze activity table across the room. Everyone sighs in relief as the child quiets as he analyzes, experiments, and solves tasks, absorbed in his own imagination. He's happy, and boy are you happy, too.

This is just one example of how a specialized activity table can be a perfect solution to your daily needs. Whether you are trying to inspire a room full of little brains, or just get a few minutes to yourself, there's a play table for the task.

The distraction Kids hate waiting around, especially today as they are surrounded by blinking ads trying to divert them. Put them in a quiet waiting room or office, and they just go nuts. The answer is to occupy their imagination with a bead table, Lego block table or train table. Children are drawn naturally to the creative options, and it's been proven that kids deep into their own imaginations are more peaceful. They suddenly become more cooperative, playing well with other children and inspiring each other. Bead tables and block tables solve problems for the staff too, since all the pieces are self-contained and tethered. No employee time is wasted cleaning up or rounding up parts. The inspiration To many adults, art equals mess. But modern art tables are wonderfully self-contained and clean. Some feature scrolling paper rolls that you wind to get a fresh spot to draw or paint on, rolling used paper up on the other spool, which is fun by itself. Bins keep supplies handy and organized, with snap-out paint cups for easy washing. Sand tables let budding sculptors practice endlessly with tools or bare hands, building castles to the sky, while the table contains the mess so you don't have to.

The education

Horeseshoes and kidneys seem like funny names for classroom tables, but you won't laugh when you realize how well they help adults work with little students. Designed to be durable and easily washable, our uniquely-shaped classroom tables help teachers be the center of attention, easily communicating one-on-one without leaning or reaching. Variable height legs let the teacher customize the workspace to the needs of the kids, and specially designed student chairs keep tykes happily in their seats. If you don't think that's a miracle, you've never been a teacher.

The big event

You remember how heavy and cumbersome old folding tables used to be. Look over the new plastic ones and rejoice: they're light enough that one person can carry a table under each arm, yet strong enough to sit eight for dinner. Blow-mold and ABS plastic folding tables are stain resistant, washable, and so attractive you'll think twice about bothering with tablecloths.
