Hi, My business partner recently just had his second child, two girls now! His other is only around 3 years old. What I wanted to do was make small table for her and her new sister to have and be able to use/play with in their basement etc. Need to see what dimensions others have used and successfully. I’m planning a simple bench to go along with this as well, so any input on that all would be great. Thanks! |

A 3 year old child is approximately 37” H x 14” W x 8” D but they vary widely from supplier to supplier. : ) -- ~Walker |

When I have questions like this, I go to a store with a tape measure, note pad, and cell camera. The wife finds something she likes and I get to work. -- Sawdust Maker |

Thanks for all the input – Walker, appreciate the dimensions on a 3 year old!! Haha I’ll be checking out the WW plans for sure. Thanks again, all. |

I’ve got a couple of 3-year-olds. I have no specs on the table, but just took your question as an excuse to post a photo. |

Haha! Awesome – great looking kids, something to be proud of there. Since we’re doing this, I don’t have a three year old, more of a three year old minus 2 years and 3 months, but she’s awesome! |

I made this table for my kids. They’re 7, 5, and 3 and they all fit it. |

Appreciate the input on that Steve – I’ve landed on dimensions right around that, should work well. Have some details to wrap up, but coming along nicely. Going to paint the base a gray and stain the top with dark walnut, along with the stretcher. It’s been a fun little project so far. I’ll update this and my projects when done, hopefully this week. |

Here’s the final product – came out great in terms of dimensions. Thanks again for the feedback. |

Thanks for posting this. I am thinking about a similar project for my son (17 mo). He’s all about his cousin’s little table and chairs. Ton’s of great ideas in this thread. Love the farm style table. -- All this in their ignorance they called civilisation, when it was but their enslavement. |
