DIY Kids table and chair sets are pretty close to my heart. It was the very first thing I ever built!

It is what sparked this amazing and crazy journey into woodworking and creating that I am so thankful for!

Before I started the blog, I made quite a few versions of kids table and chairs for friends and clients.

Kids love having their own space for creating, playing and homework and building them one with your own hands brings a certain sense of satisfaction.

Plus, it is so fun to get creative with the kids’ table chair sets – not just with colors and design but also in functionality!

Take a look at these handmade kids table and chair ideas to get your own inspiration flowing or just follow the available tutorials and plans!!!
