One of the best things about PVC pipe is how strong it is! For just a few dollars you can have a material strong enough to support human weight. This is especially true when dealing with children, as they (obviously) do not weigh as much as adults. If you want some lightweight indoor or outdoor furniture for a low price, try making it out of PVC pipe! As stated before, PVC is strong and inexpensive, making it perfect for a DIY PVC kids' table and more!
This blog post covers several innovative DIY projects. The first is for a durable and colorful DIY PVC kids' stool and table. The other two show how to make full-sized furniture out of PVC, but you can always alter dimensions to make them perfect for the little ones. These projects can be even more fun when you make them with the kids' help, so enjoy yourself and get creative with these DIY PVC furniture projects!

Although this final project is not technically designed to be a DIY PVC kids' table, it is the perfect size for them! This cute PVC table is meant to be a coffee table, but will work as a kids' table if you switch the glass top for strong plastic or smooth wood.
This project also says to use wooden dowels for the table structure, but 3/4" PVC would work just as well and be more lightweight! PVC can be painted however you want, so it will not harm the coffee table's aesthetics. Be sure to get the PVC products listed below so you can make this project at the lowest cost possible.
