We all know how children get lost in exciting games and create their own world around themselves. Most children, regardless of gender, are so fascinated by the Lego game in particular that they are captivated by the great, colorful building blocks and can spend hours on the floor tinkering with their works of art. What do you think of a Lego table for the children's room, where your child can have fun undisturbed and at the same time keep the Lego bricks neatly tidy? In the following article we have put together great ideas for you on how you can build a practical and original Lego table yourself and thus provide a lot of fun for young people.
If you have already decided to get a LegoTable for the children's roomTo make it yourself, you have several design options to choose from. First, consider how much space is available in the designated room so that you can make a suitable gaming table. For the first project we have chosen for you, any small wooden table, such as a side table, is suitable.
To prevent the sometimes tiny building blocks from constantly falling off the table, you can add side walls to it. For this you will need wooden boards, preferably leftovers from a renovation project, which you then cut into 45 degree angles and attach to the table from below with screws and glue. In the middle you can attach Lego base plates on which the children can build buildings and other figures and proudly display their creations.
Redesign Ikea table
Of course, you can transform a simple Ikea table into a Lego table by simply gluing the base plate onto it. You can use adhesive tape to create a road marking all around where the younger children can drive their self-assembled cars. First fill up the vehicles at the gas station and then we get started.
Practical Lego tables: DIY ideas with storage space
It's definitely worth thinking about storage. For example, pull-out shelves with plastic containers would be a practical idea. If the storage basket is attached in the middle under the table, you can make a small hole directly above the basket. This means your child can quickly tidy up the building blocks that are not needed at the moment. A suitable cover ensures that the hole can be covered as needed.
A Lego table can be a real highlight in the children's room and act as a decorative element in the interior. For example, choose base plates in colors that harmonize with the rest of the furniture or represent a contrast. The plastic storage boxes in the example above also fit perfectly into the overall furnishings.
If the game table has a storage compartment, there is no need to install the rails for the plastic baskets. Just get severalStorage box with lidand arrange them on the storage compartment. The children can sort the individual building blocks by color and always have everything to hand. Depending on the height, you can position chairs or stools around the Lego play table.
If you want to provide quick access to the building blocks of different sizes, in addition to a rail for the pull-out basket, you can also screw a rod onto the side of the table and hang containers for each size. Another alternative would be a tool cabinet with several transparent compartments. Especially if your child is no longer interested in Lego Duplo but has already invented the very small parts for themselves.
For this great craft project you need an Ikea shelf frame, which is actually forStoring and organizing toysis intended and the corresponding box in which your child will store and store the toy building blocks. Attach the base plates with hot glue. Now you can attach some wooden boards to the sides, which you can also equip with narrow Lego plates. There your child can display the various Lego figures from their collection and conjure up a unique decoration for their original Lego play table.
If you want to beautify the creative game table and make it age-appropriate, you can easily achieve this with the help of washi tape. You can also make this variant mobile in no time at all so that the children always have their favorite toys within reach, regardless of where they are in the apartment. To do this, attach four wheels to the underside of the shelf frame.

If you would like to build a square gaming table with integrated compartments, you can design it by sawing it out. Take the boxes you want to install and draw them on the table. Then saw out the marked area and fix the boxes.
Finally, attach the brick panels using double-sided tape or hot glue. You may be able to close the storage box with the appropriate lids. This means the children can use the creative, self-built Lego play table for other purposes and the Lego bricks are stored away from dust.
If your child is now a passionate Lego collector, then perhaps a play table like this with lots of storage space would be an excellent solution for you. For this simple project, you will need two or three rolling containers with drawers and a sheet of plywood. Now you need to attach the plywood to the cabinet carts and attach the base plates to the table top.
