Train and Activity Table

I especially love this hack for a train and activity table.  Not only does it have space on the top for an entire train set to be set out, and left out, to play with.

But it also has tons of storage underneath. So you can keep all those extra bits they need to play with every now and again in one place! This is pretty genius! You can see the full post here.

Magnetic Maskros Hack

This hack uses the IKEA Maskros pendant lamp. It comes with some flowers, so you just remove those flowers and you can stick whatever you want on there!  This particular hack is replacing the flowers on the lamp with magnetic alphabet magnets. You can see it right here!

DIY Kids Table Makeover

This hack is using the IKEA Latt kids table. We actually had one of these tables in our home for years for our kids, and they spent hours and hours at it doing various craft projects. 

They are really great little tables and chairs, that last, and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. The basic table and chairs is lovely, but why not make it even lovelier with a hack?  You can see the complete DIY instructions here.

Art Cart

This hack is featuring what is most probably my favorite piece at IKEA – the Raskog Cart. I absolutely love this cart! It can be used in any room of your home, for any purpose. 

I have used one as a bar cart, as a coffee cart, and a cart to store craft supplies.  They are inexpensive, they come in some great colors – and they can be hacked so amazingly – by painting them and more.  This hack is taking this amazing cart and making it into a kids Art Cart.  See the post here.
