Does anyone know where i can get get sturdy small foldable tables i am very limited in space and would love to have some tables so the children can sit at them doing activities or playing with toys on them, everything is on the floor at the moment and even our toy kitchen which is a hotpoint electric one and washing machine (they all love) the kids really have trouble playing with as its quite small and they really have to bend to play.

Any ideas!!

I did an internet search and found mine, it folds in half and the legs fold into it and it is height adjustable and a bit more sturdy than a similar thing in argos, I paid £30ish for it a couple of years ago.

I have Gopack tables, they are available from all the educational sites but are quite expensive!

I have one of those - from one of the educational sites. It was in the sale for about £95. So glad I got it as I should never need to buy one again :)

yes I agree, invest in a gopac. I've had mine 5 years. I bought one with the tougher plastic sealed edges and use it in the garden or inside and it can withstand very messy play and doesn't seem to show any wear and tear yet. I did look at camping tables and all sorts of stuff but in the end nothing was sturdy enough if you have a toddler leaning against it if standing to play.

Hope that helps :)

We have the gopak ones at cm group, they are expensive to start with but are so sturdy they will last a life time. You can choose from sizes and heights too.

I have one too - bought for £10 when my local playgroup closed down - best £10 I've ever spent!
