I am not nearly done getting organized - but had to share some pictures of this corner of our learning room - Mike did not need more toys for his 1st birthday later this week - so we got him the cutest little table and chair - he LOVES them!

Marilyn--It is wonderful. So neat and lovely with beautiful items...where did you get your table and chair set? Do you think you could use the table with two chairs, one on each side?

Ok - this was my huge budget splash (Mike's entire school budget!!) - but we did get birthday money from grandparents - and it is his birthday gift from us too I debated it for weeks and weeks - and finally went for it.

It is toddler table from Lakeshore learning with the matching height chair - I bought the biggest height to get the most time out of it. I wish I was good at carpentry because i would make it myself. But they are beautifully made - and the table is easy clean - can be used for snacks, painting, playdough, work etc - Mike loves to sit in his chair for prayers, family movies etc

Colleen - it looks bigger in the picture than it is. You could have two kids working at either long end for drawing and playdough and reading - but for Montessori type tray work it is a little small for more than one.

The "first shelf" is a Micheal Olaf look alike - the twins bought it with their allowance from Target on sale for $10 and put it together for Mike for his birthday - it is quite sturdy.

Matthew's table and chairs are from Michaels - we bought a few years ago on sale - I like them except that they are craft tables so the top is soft and we need to use a book to write on. Also the folding chairs can tip over fairly easily for a toddler, but are great for Preschoolers and K.

Marilyn,

That is a neat table and chair set.   

We were just working on setting up an area for our 14 month old too.
