Kids Activity Table

Young children are naturally inquisitive and, in their earliest years, learn best through active play. An array of fun activities can lay the foundation for meaningful learning experiences, helping them develop essential motor and problem-solving skills while also socialising and learning to cooperate with their peers.

At Plum Play, it’s our mission to provide children with a wide range of toys and products that speak to their desire to play and help them develop the essential skills they’ll need to succeed and excel in life.

Our selection of activity tables for kids will inspire your children to play, learn, and socialise. Learn more about our product range below.

Discover the Best Activity Tables for Outdoor Fun with Plum Play

Activity tables are fantastic for children as they engage their curiosity and offer several means of developing fundamental skills.

Each of our kids’ activity tables offers hours of outdoor fun, with combinations that are sure to suit even the most discerning of young ones. With our selection, you’ll find the following:

• Two-piece sand and water tables - let your kids build sandcastles, play with water toys, and envision epic adventures across land and sea.

• Picnic tables - perfect for kids to interact with one another, work on their drawing and art skills, and learn to socialise.

• Sand and water picnic tables - a picnic table that can be converted to a split sand and water play space, allowing children to engage in sensory play and refine their motor skills.

• Sand and water table - a compact play table that’s perfect for smaller outdoor spaces. Includes a water-tight liner that allows children to easily switch between sand and water play, offering them the freedom for their imaginations to run wild and gain confidence while they improve gross and fine motor skills.

• Sand and picnic table - another picnic table that can easily be converted into a makeshift sand pit. Your children can build their dream sandcastles and kingdoms, envisioning themselves as the architects of their own magical worlds.

• Plum Discovery Forest Water Run - a multi-tiered activity table that allows children to engage in various forms of water play, from water racing to imaginative play and experimentation. Kids can engage in friendly competition with peers and benefit from the foundations of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) learning. 

Benefits of Activity Tables for Child Development

Learning through play is essential for young kids, and activity tables present a powerful means through which children can learn, develop, and emotionally regulate in positive ways. Some key benefits of children using activity tables include:

Improved Motor Skills 

Through interaction with sand, water, and paper for artistic works, children develop and strengthen their gross and fine motor skills. Creating sand castles, partaking in water races, playing around with smaller toys, and painting and drawing all help strengthen a child’s dexterity and motoric capabilities.

Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving 

Learning through play also engages a child’s critical thinking and problem-solving processes. Simple actions such as determining the right balance of water and sand to construct a sand castle naturally allow kids to make sense of how different elements and materials interact with one another.

Socialising and Emotional Regulation 

Another core benefit of wooden activity tables is that they encourage multiple kids to play and interact at once. By engaging with peers and supervising adults, kids practically engage in socialisation, which helps them build a greater awareness and understanding of social cues and behaviour. 

The more children engage with others and develop their social muscles, so too will they be better positioned to progressively improve their emotional regulation. Greater emotional regulation allows them to more appropriately respond to different circumstances, be they positive, negative, or neutral.

Activity Tables for Any Outdoor Space

No matter the size of your yard or outdoor space, Plum Play has an activity table that will suit the area you have. You’ll find that most of our activity tables measure less than or just slightly over 1 metre in length, while width never exceeds 1 metre and the height of the tables tends to range from 50 to 60 cm. 

The only exception is our Plum Discovery Forest Water Run, which measures at a length of 355 cm in its longest configuration, 60 cm in width, and 90 cm in height. However, thanks to its design, the configuration can be adjusted in several ways to fit different spaces, both large and small. You can even remove certain parts depending on your needs or the space you’re using at different times.

So, whether you have a large backyard or a more compact outdoor space, you’ll find the majority of Plum Play’s activity tables will still be a viable choice for your kids.
