I have just about worn out the Google search looking for plans for a
child's table and chairs. I am expecting my first granddaughter in
November and I would like to build a table and chairs for her first tea
party when she gets old enough. Anyone have any leads on plans?

Also, I am planning to paint it so I am thinking about using poplar. I
have never built anything that I have painted. Any problems associated
with painting poplar or children's toys in general?

You don't need plans. What you need is a few rough measurements, maybe a
picture or two. Go to the local toy store or children's furnishing
department with tape measure and digital camera and in a few minutes you are
ready to build. I've done that often to get some ideas.

There are no critical measurements, just guidelines. If the store table is
18" or 20" high, that is close enough, even if yours come a h alf inch
either side of that. Kids grow.
