Legos have always been the best way to let your child’s imagination run wild and travel to all sorts of distant lands. And as parents, who themselves have first-handedly played and created wonders, it must have been very easy for you to choose the first set of real toys for your kid, that is a Lego set. But one of the real struggles of our time with Lego was that we never had a set place to play. We used the floor, the couch, the bed, even the dining table. And poor moms never knew where to ask us to keep our Lego toys. A Lego table designated specifically for that would have been quite nice, right?

History of Lego

Legos have been around for so long that they have been an inseparable part of all of our childhoods, without a doubt. We have all played with them, created our own personal masterpieces with them, felt proud of ourselves, and made our parents really happy with our giggles. That was probably the time when we first started creating things by using just our imagination. Some of us even got reprimanded a lot for having swallowed a piece or two. Who knew we were paving our way to nostalgia back then? Whenever we look at anything that is Lego, we instantly go on a journey down the memory lane. And the worst part is letting go of that wonderful place where anything was possible. Growing up sucks, huh?

But then there are some of us who either never grew up or remained fascinated enough to not let go of something as magical as Lego. There are still people of all age groups who are very fond of Lego and are still creating masterpieces with no stop. The fascination and love for Lego is on such a high, that ever since 1999, the international youth organization

First®

organizes the

First Lego League

every year in the month of August. The participants are between the ages 9 to 16. The main focus is to create awareness among the children for real world problems, which is done by giving the children challenges to solve.

To further prove that there is no upper limit in terms of age to play and create, using Lego, the world record for largest Lego structure belongs to the car manufacturer Land Rover TM, in which they used around 5.8 million bricks. Convinced yet?

Best Lego Table DIY Ideas

Well, as they say, “need is the mother of invention.” This explains why someone must have come up with the insightful idea of a Lego table. It is nothing but a simple table that comes with attached Lego base plate so you have one designated place to play and keep all your toys. Wait, did we just say “your”? Well we did prove that Legos are for everyone, right?

But what if one does not want to buy a full-fledged Lego table? Well, you can make one on your own for your or your kids’ use, in less than a day, and that too without burning a hole in your pocket. Here is a list of DIY Lego tables that will surely call out to the kid hidden inside you.

Lego Table With Side Rail

Kids can never be blamed for being clumsy. They drop, throw, or nudge things more often than we can imagine and that can result in broken toys or messy floor, and in extreme cases can be a real hazard in the waiting.
