@Liz, glad to hear you say you had a good experience with the oil cloth, because I have been feeling guilty about this post. Over time, quite a few art materials have proven to NOT wipe easily from my little table. However, I think I chose a laminated cotton and it’s not as slick as regular oilcloth. Be warned.

I originally read this post and thought, wow. Cool idea. And promptly forgot about it. Then a friend came over the other day and brought her large oilcloth for the kids’ candy making craft she had planned. It was amazing to have, she just spread it on the table like a table cloth and when the mayhem was over, it was so easy to clean.

Stapling is too much for me, we don’t really have space for a special kid craft table but I went to Joann today and bought a large piece of oilcloth to use for the future. I think it will be very helpful for painting or play-doh. (Both of those activities make my inner neat freak shudder but what can you do?) Or markers! My 2 year old loves to “miss” the paper.

Great idea. We also dilute our paint 1:1 with kids’ bubble bath or shampoo to wash it off bodies & clothes more easily.

Great idea! I plan on having a craft/art table for my little guy when he grows up. Now do you have a DIY to make space in our house for this craft table????
