Activity table

You know how toddlers love to play with stuff they're not supposed to play with? Well I decided to put all these things in one place so Oz could play with them till his hearts content and get it out of his system and so the play table was born.
This was a relatively easy and cheap project but I did recruit my other half for a bit of man power and to operate the power tools!
So it all started off with a pinterest board and a few ideas kicking around of things that were safe and would keep his attention. I made a list of everyday objects he loved to get his hands on and some he'd never come across but would be good to learn how to operate.
Most of the ones id seen were boards you some how attach to the wall, but I was concerned with how  it was going to attach, what if we want to move it, what if it falls on his head whilst he is attacking it? So I though a table would be a much better idea, not only was it more stable, portable and have room for more things but he was always on his feet so it suited him much better than something he'd have to sit down to play with!
Luckily we had the perfect table that was going spare, an old TV stand
