How to Build a Toddler Desk
- 1). Clean the inside and outside of a small suitcase that has a flat top and bottom. Use sponge and all-purpose cleaning solution to remove dirt from the top of the suitcase, so that paint will adhere properly.
- 2). Sand the corners and edges of four 4-inch squares of 2-by-4 wood until they are rounded. Glue these to the inside bottom corners of the suitcase with wood glue. Drill holes through the wood and the bottom of the suitcase.
- 3). Screw coffee-table legs into the wood through the holes drilled through the bottom of the suitcase and the wood.
- 4). Tape off the top of the suitcase so that paint will not get on the sides. Apply chalkboard spray paint to the top according to the manufacturer's directions.
