Picnic Game Table
You and your family will have lots of fun designing this outdoor picnic table together -- and then, year after year, you'll have lots of fun using the gameboards you've painted onto the tabletop.
CRAFT MATERIALS:
A small, unfinished picnic table
Pencil and ruler
Acrylic latex enamel paint
Paintbrushes
Square-shaped sponge (optional)
Polyurethane
Time needed: Weekend Project
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).
