Age grading and size: If your child is still a toddler, be sure to get a table that's appropriately short and easy for them to reach. On the other hand, if your child is age 3 or older, look for something age-graded for them that has a larger surface area. Material: Wooden Lego tables are nice because they look like real furniture. Plastic looks cheaper but then again, it's very easy to clean and you know it will hold up to some rough play. Decor: If you'll be putting your Lego table in the living room or family room, you might want one that reverses to a plain-colored top or one that can double as a little coffee table if you need it to. Building with Lego is fun and can help support spatial awareness and reasoning, teamwork (or conflict resolution!), fine motor skills and more," says Good Housekeeping Institute Chief Technologist & Executive Technical Director Rachel Rothman, a mom of three kids ages 6 and younger and a mechanical engineer. "In our house, we also incorporate Lego into sorting, counting and other math challenges. My own Lego play as a child eventually led me to coding and advanced structural engineering."
