Chalkboard Lego Table

Posted 2014-07-25 by Janine ⇒ follow
A great way to display and play with Lego, this chalkboard Lego table also helps to keep all those little bits in one place. Add some more fun by painting part of the table with chalkboard paint!


Materials:
  • Small side or end table
  • Lego base (I used 3)
  • Primer
  • Sandpaper
  • Sander (if desired)
  • Chalkboard paint
  • Painting tools (brush or small roller)
  • Construction adhesive or strong bonding glue
  • Painters tape
  • Yellow craft paint

    • Method:
  • Start by sanding your table lightly so the primer and the adhesive will stick well.

    • I already had sandpaper ready to go on my sander but a hand sanding will be fine.

  • Prime the area you want to paint with the chalkboard paint. Allow to dry.


  • Paint at least two coats of chalkboard paint. My table needed three.
  • Cover the chalkboard paint in a layer of chalk. I have heard that you should do this to avoid setting in lines when drawing with the chalk.


  • Apply adhesive to the table and the Lego base plates and adhere to the table. Wiggle slightly to adhere the glue and press down for a few seconds to secure.


  • I painted lines on the road by measuring out 1 cm segments on painter's tape, applying the tape to the chalkboard and using a small craft brush painted on strips ever one centimeter.
  • Let completely dry and start using!

    • My son loved the chalkboard part of the table. He made his own design in the open section and put crosswalks on the road for his Lego guys to cross


    It would be easy to screw some baskets on the side for storage of small pieces and characters that were not in use. You could also store chalk and wipes in the baskets to use on the chalkboard.
