8 DIY Projects For Kids’ Spaces

July 21, 2026 By Erin Spain Leave a Comment

I’m digging into the archives for this one! Here are 8 DIY projects that I’ve done over the years that are perfect for kids’ spaces. This was a fun walk down memory lane!

This DIY Rolling Lego Tray slides under the bed and helps prevent stepping on LEGO bits (iykyk). It’s one of the less fun parts of parenthood, but it’s highly likely to happen to all of us at some point.

Speaking of LEGO, this DIY LEGO table was an IKEA hack I did years ago! I transformed an IKEA baby changing table into this LEGO table for a fun challenge, and it was featured in Parents Magazine.

Next up is this cute little Mini Plywood Desk I built for my youngest son several years ago. It can grow with him by adding longer hairpin legs as he gets older. The panels on the front attach with magnets and conceal hidden storage compartments.

This Wood and Plexiglass Sign was a fun one! I used a Circuit Joy machine to cut out the vinyl decals. You could customize it with any saying or quote you choose.

This Rolling Toy Bin could be built to whatever dimensions you need. I had fun adding a little diagonal painted detail on the front.

I built this Book and Toy Rack to serve as multi-purpose storage for my boys’ shared bedroom. You could add any style legs and paint it any color you like.

This Kids’ Art Table was a fun thrift flip. I found an old dining table at a thrift store and cut the legs down to make it kid-height, then created a dipped leg effect with gold spray paint.

This Mini Daybed will forever be one of my favorite projects. I custom built this for the reading nook in our old playroom, and I upcycled our old crib mattress for it.
