A table that gives play a home
Watch a group of children on the lounge room floor. Paper slides, pieces scatter, and someone's elbow wipes out the picture. A table of their own changes that. The flat, steady top holds their work still, so they can concentrate on the task instead of fighting the surface.
That steadiness matters for early writing and drawing posture. When a child sits with their feet flat and forearms resting on the tabletop, their shoulders relax and their hands do the fine work. Cutting, colouring, threading and tracing all get easier.
Room for more than one
QToys describes this deluxe size as double the size of its standard table. The 120cm length is the real advantage when siblings or friends want to work side by side. Two children fit comfortably along each long edge, which suits shared art projects, a puzzle in the middle, or a group board game.
It grows with them, too. At 3, the table is for scribbling, playdough and chunky puzzles. By 5, it hosts cutting, early letter and number work and board games. By 7, it becomes the homework and project spot. It is also a strong choice for playrooms and classrooms that need a multi-purpose surface, where craft, tea parties and snack time can all happen in the same place.
Solid, sealed and easy to look after
It is made from rubberwood, a dense plantation timber, with a fine oiled finish. The top feels smooth, and the sealed surface wipes clean with a damp cloth. Do not soak it in water. Paint and playdough wipe straight off.
QToys describes the materials as non-toxic and child-safe, with an oil-based sealant. With a boxed weight of 17kg, it is a substantial table that will not skate across the floor when a child leans on it.
Dimensions
The table measures 120cm long x 60cm wide x 50cm high. It ships flat-packed in a box measuring 66 x 11 x 123cm, which is easy to carry in through the front door. Allow roughly 1.2m by 0.6m of floor space, plus a little room around it for chairs. Chairs are sold separately, and a seat height of roughly 26 to 30cm is a common match for a 50cm table.
