Coffee Table Turned Sensory Playroom Table

This coffee table transformation into a sensory play table is amazing! Pondered Primed Perfected came up with the clever idea using her old table. The acrylic table top (purchased at the local hardware store) hides the sensory bins underneath and lifts off easily.

 A hole was cut to fit the sensory bins.

Dry erase crayons are the perfect creative medium to draw on acrylic. Dry Erase Crayons are fun to use and easy to erase.

Dr Seuss vinyl quote was added to the side of the play table. For the tutorial on how to make a sensory playroom table visit Pondered Primed Perfected.

Fabulous Forts

It's no secret that children love forts. 



My daughter begs to make forts out of blankets and chairs.  And when all else fails, I will sometimes find her putting a blanket over a small table and hiding under there to play! 



Kids love having a hideaway spot to go to!



So why not have a bit more fun and let your children have a permenant fort, in their bedroom or playroom!  Here are a few great ways to let your kids have a fun fort in their room:

I absolutly love how fun this fab fort bed is!

Behind this great bookcase is a small hideaway where that little bookworm of yours can hide away and read all afternoon!

Using old sheets, blankets or fabric, you can achieve this throw-together look simply.  But by using rope to secure it to the ceiling, you can make it a semi-permanent feature in a playroom.

If your little princess doesn't want a "fort", you can still give her a sense of a hideaway spot by using a pretty pink canopy in her room!

Do your kids have a special hideaway spot they can go to?
