Children's touch table  

children's touch tableChildren's touch tables (or sand and water tables) are an important component of early childhood development. They are considered mandatory to achieve the best indicators for the development of motor skills, knowledge of the color scheme and much more. The table presented here is portable and multifunctional, you can fill it with any material that you like, and just snap the lid on when the child finishes studying. Buying in a store can cost you a tidy amount, so It’s more profitable to make a children's touch table do-it-yourself from PVC pipes, at least for this project, provided by the author of this photo.

The most expensive component is a pipe cutter, so if you make several tables, you can save a decent amount.

touch tableShopping list:

  • PVC pipe
  • PVC connectors
  • PVC pipe cutter
  • Glue for plastic

Most stores sell 2 types: schedule 40 and 80 of white and gray. The price is almost the same, but the gray material, according to the instructions, is more durable. The author recommends buying a 1-inch size, large sizes just make the table more bulky, and it’s more difficult to cut the pipe.

  1. You will need 2 pipes3 meters each, regardless of the style of table you make. If you have difficulty transporting, you can cut the pipes in half at the store with a hand saw. It takes a lot of effort, but it's still better than buying a 1.5 meter pipe. Because they will charge you a little more.
  2. You will need 8-pin connectors. Be sure to buy 1 inch pieces to fit your pipe.
  3. Buy a ratchet tool kit. Face mills are very easy to use and make a clean cut.
  4. Buy PVC glue

bathtub for touch tableFind a good plastic container. An ideal bath should be:

  • rectangular, not something with sharp edges. It should fit well into the space you make.
  • Durable. Every child will check this quality of the container.
  • Transparent. The ability to see through the bottom adds extra features to the game.
  • If you are making a double table, buy two bathtubs.

In addition to what you bought, you will need:

  • Notebook
  • Measuring tape
  • marker
  • Paper towels

Highlights to watch out for

  1. Measure the pipe. Unscrew the tube on each side without a cap and measure from the center of one pipe to the center of the other. Record this size. Now write this number! Pay attention to the photo, the ends of the pipes lie on your knees, this is to measure from the right place, so that the pipes rest on the bath. Then turn the bath a quarter turn and measure again. Do not forget to write this size!
  2. Mark one cut at a time, because you never know when you accidentally ruin something, and you will need to cut a new piece. Do not worry if you need to redo something, because there is still a large piece of pipe in stock.
  3. Make the first cut, then three more, as in the photo. When you're done, you will have two channels for the two sizes you recorded. The pipes will be too long, but everything is in order.
  4. Collect 4 pipes, this is called a “dry fit” because there is no glue yet. Fit tightly, this will provide a good fit when you go to the gluing step. Pay attention to the order in which the author collects the details.
  5. Now measure how much you need to trim. Measure from the inside edge of the pipe to the edge of the tub. This is what you need to cut the pipes. Be sure to write it down! When cutting off excess pipe, be sure to save the leftovers.
  6. Another dry landing. This time the hopper should sit nicely inside the pipes.
  7. Cut 4 more pipes. Disassemble the dry fit, then use these pipes as a template to trim another set of 4 pipes: 2 long and 2 short. When finished, you will have only 8 cut pipes, or 11 for a double bath.
  8. Then assemble two rectangles from freshly cut scraps.
  9. Measure and cut 4 legs
  10. If you make a touch table for a specific child, measure the distance from the floor to the armpit, and take a couple of centimeters. This is the size of how to cut the pipes.
    Time to glue! This is where paper towels come in handy. The glue has an applicator (foamy little ball) attached to the inside of the lid. Use it to cover both the end of the pipe and the inside of the connector. Close the lid, the glue dries very quickly. Quickly insert the tube into the connector until the glue has dried, and do not worry if you do not get a perfect joint. There will be no water flowing through these pipes, you just need to get a sturdy structure when the children rest on it.
  11. Immediately after tightly insert the tube into the connector, wipe off any excess glue from the seam.

Recommended Build Order

Following the specified assembly order, you can assemble without interruption, without waiting for the glue to dry.

  1. Short pipe to connector A
  2. Long pipe to connector B
  3. Second long pipe to connector C
  4. Same thing on connector D

Immediately after gluing on the second connector, while the glue is still wet, press the connectors on a flat surface to align. Rotate and firmly press the other sides of the connectors. Now everything is smooth and beautiful.

  1. Add a short pipe to connector C
  2. Glue the same short pipe to connector B
  3. Complete the rectangle

Immediately after assembling the rectangle, before applying the adhesive, lay it on a flat surface to align the new connection with those that are already installed.

Repeat the entire process of assembling the rectangle to make the second rectangle.

If you want the touch table to grow with your child, the legs can not be glued, so they will sit tightly in the connectors. Install the bathtub, fill it with something funny (shredded paper in the photo), and your table is complete!
