Outdoor Fun: Picnic Game Table
Here is a great arts & crafts idea for your & your children from FamilyFun.com. Take an ordinary picnic table and turn it into hours of fun!
What you need:
- A small, unfinished picnic table
- Pencil and ruler
- Acrylic latex enamel paint
- Paintbrushes
- Square-shaped sponge (optional)
- Polyurethane
Directions:
1. Using a pencil and ruler, draw a design on the tabletop. We’ve included a checkerboard, a backgammon board, a sun, letters of the alphabet and numbers from zero to 20.
2. Once you are happy with the design, paint it on.
3. Paint the benches as you wish. We sponge-painted squares around geometric shapes.
4. Protect the table and benches with five coats of polyurethane (a parent’s job).
