Toddler Rectangle Table and Chairs Set (Ages 1 to 3 years) A first table made for real independence Our Toddler Rectangle Table and Chairs Set keeps the same child-sized proportions as our toddler tables, with a longer rectangular tabletop that creates more room for shared play and creative activities. The extended surface comfortably seats two children and offers plenty of room for siblings, playdates, and craft time. For many families this becomes the first place where toddlers can climb onto a chair by themselves, pull it up to the table, and settle into their own important work. A place for drawing, puzzles, snack time, stacking blocks, and paging through favourite books. Quiet concentration and joyful mess, all happening at a scale that feels right for early childhood. These pieces have been part of Grandpa’s Workshop since the very beginning and are handcrafted in South Africa for families, playrooms, preschools, and early learning environments across the country. Strong, practical, and made to be lived with. Why families and schools choose this set The Toddler Rectangle Table and Chairs Set is sized specifically for the early years, when children are learning to sit independently, concentrate on small tasks, and begin playing alongside others. The longer rectangular tabletop creates more room for shared play and works beautifully in homes, playrooms, and early learning environments. The chairs are sturdy enough for everyday use and strong enough for adults to sit on during playtime, reading, or helping with activities. Like all pieces from Grandpa’s Workshop, the set is handcrafted in South Africa and designed to handle real childhood, daily play, small spills, and the happy mess that comes with it. Built for stability and everyday use Toddlers do not sit still for long. They climb, lean, push chairs back, and return again a few minutes later. For that reason, our toddler tables and chairs are built with stability in mind. The chairs are easy for little ones to climb on and off independently while remaining secure once seated, and the table base stays steady during everyday play, snacks, and creative activities. The chairs are intentionally strong and many parents are surprised to discover they are sturdy enough for adults to sit on while helping with activities. This durability is one of the reasons our furniture is widely used in preschools, early learning environments, and family homes across South Africa. Age suitability Designed for toddlers approximately 1 to 3 years, depending on your child’s height and confidence. If your child is walking and starting to climb onto chairs or low furniture, they are usually ready for this size. Dimensions Each piece is sized so toddlers can sit comfortably with feet resting flat on the floor and arms naturally positioned at the table. Minor variations may occur due to the handcrafted nature of each piece. If you are unsure which size is right for your child, we are always happy to advise.
