Giving kids a table of their own is great for creating focus, whether the attention is on mealtimes, arts and crafts or a good puzzle. Children love using furniture at their own scale, helping them feel grown up and setting the stage for more detailed activities between friends.
Most table and chairs are designed for kids between 3-6 years, giving them a short shelf life. A good set in solid wood or sturdy plastic costs around £75-125. If you’re spending more, make sure it’s on fun and quality rather than style; consider furniture that your kids will really get the most out of before you have to pass on.
Some plastic sets can be used indoors and out, but those at the cheaper end tend to be more disposable in quality. Look for materials that are easily cleaned, will withstand scratches and knocks, and can endure intensive use over a short burst of time.
1. Tidlo Jungle Animal table and four chairs:
This adorable furniture set suits kids aged three and up. Each chair features a different safari animal, including a friendly lion, leopard, elephant and monkey. The circular table has a 60cm-diameter with room enough for meals, games and puzzles alike. Tidlo specialises in wood toys, with a noticeable quality feel compared to plastic. The pieces can be bought separately too.
2. Liberty House Toys square table set:
A bright and colourful set for two that can be used indoors and out. Children love the mix-and-match style and chunky proportions of this inviting furniture. At 6kg, the table and chairs are light and easy to move around but wider legs help keep things grounded. The plastic is a little thin, especially when the price compares to wood sets, but does make this set practical to clean.
3. Darla plastic kids’ table and four chairs:
This super-lightweight collection of table and chairs is fun and flexible. Use the plastic pieces outdoors in summer, or for indoor play where they can easily stack away when not in use. The table is just £20 and chairs £12 each, so you can easily add more into the mix for parties and playdates. The palette of orange, pink, red and lime green is vibrant too.
