Giving the children table and chairs is the perfect Christmas gift idea for toddlers or children who love to paint, draw or color. Encourage your toddler's artistic instincts with their very own art table. This gives them a space all their own to create their works of art. When contemplating the gifts you could give your little Monet, a table may seem like a less exciting choice but this couldn't be farther from the truth. Your child will love their own art table, and so will you.
Art table options
Table With Shelf
As you begin holiday shopping for an art table for your toddler you might be surprised at all the options available to you. Many parents think choosing an art table would be a very straight forward choice: a table has a flat surface which the child can use to paint. This is true, but like the artist, creativity and options transform a plain table into a masterpiece.
Spaces designed to contain an artistic toddler range from basic table top, to pint sized easels and art desks loaded with all sorts of options. These pieces of furniture can be accents for the kids decor.
Which one is right for you?
An easel is ideal for areas where space is limited. Easels take up very little floor space, which might make it possible to keep them set up permanently. Yet most fold flat for easy storage. This is an attractive option not only if space is limited but also allows mom or dad to limit access to the art shop. This means you don't have to worry about paint or crayon mishaps because you can put it all away when finger painting is done.
Larger options
The larger tables will be more difficult to put away entirely, but the list of accessories that some have make it worth giving over the long term floor space. A true art table allows your child to sit while she works.
Options include storage bins built in or shelves where you could place bins or baskets of your own. Many tables come equipped with a dowel rod to hold rolls of art paper. This access to large art paper is great - just roll it out and paint away. It is an added bonus if the table also includes a clipping feature to hold the paper in place for exuberant toddler fingers. Still other features include impressions on the work surface to hold art supplies like water cups, crayons, markers, paint brushes, or a built in palate for paints.
Make it work
If your budget, space allowance or just plain availability eliminates the table with all the features you desire, don't despair. Your childs Christmas can still be blessed by the perfect table. It is easy to add storage bins if your table lacks them. A trip to the hardware or even office supply store will yield a supply of clips. Attach the clips with durable glue or nails and use them to hold art work in place. Adding a dowel rod is something you can do yourself too.
The bottom line is no matter what art table your toddler finds under the tree, he or she will love it. The resulting masterpieces will be a gift you will both treasure for a lifetime.
