This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BuildSomething.com. All opinions are 100% mine! Do your kids love train tables but you don’t have the space? This smaller, easily stored Space Saving DIY Train Table is the perfect solution!
My boys always love building train tracks, let’s be honest they enjoyed tearing them down even more. But hey, whatever keeps their little brains occupied is fine by me! As a female, I’m all like let’s build a city and drive the trains around pretending to make deliveries. But come on… they just want to throw all the pieces! If you’ve ever had a traditional train table you know how unbelievably huge they are!! Nobody has that kind of space for ONE toy!
I’ve seen lots of different versions of train tables, some that even roll under beds. I love the idea of being able to store the table out of sight, but I know my kids and they don’t want to sit on the floor to play. So I combined my need for storage with my love for industrial pipes and came up with the plans for this Space Saving DIY Train Table.
It’s big enough to make little train sets, but not so big it takes over your whole house! My favorite part is that the legs are detachable and can be stored with the table top under a bed, in a closet, or any other thin storage place you might have. That way if you have family coming over, or just want your kids to take a break so they will enjoy it more in a few weeks, it doesn’t have to sit in the middle of your house!

Those train sets do take up a bunch of space. The table is a clever way to deal with it.

Lately my kids have become addicted to video games such as call of duty warzone. I am always looking for ideas to get them off of the screens. Thanks!

I can totally relate! Kids always love train tables though!

What color green did you use?

Since the place is a mountain, if it is wood for construction, it is spread all around without even moving it. http://xn--oi2b30g3ueowi6mjktg.vom77.com

What kind of paint did you use?

I have a train table but not like that, I have seen a first time like that classic train table that can be easy to create.
