In the four days since I posted about the Creative Table project, I’ve been amazed at the variety of ideas that have come from this International group; everything from a geology lesson to oversized PVC pipe tinkering toys to making paper dolls. As I’m typing this, more creative table images are coming in, and I’ll be sure to post those next week.
These images are mostly shared on Instagram (I’m a huge fan. Are you?), but you can also share by simply uploading your image onto this form.
Well, enough jibber-jabber. Have a look for yourself. Get inspired. And since this is a brand-new project, I’d love to get your feedback on what would make this project even better.

I love this project! It’s so simple and easy to take part of it! Just take a photo and share it. Thank you!
I feel the same way, Angela. I’ve also enjoyed seeing everyone’s ideas in real time. Very inspiring!!
I am loving this project too… so inspiring both looking at everyone’s images as well as inspiring me to try a few things with my kids that have been sitting in the back of my head!
Exactly right, Kate! We do so many projects that don’t warrant a full-blown post, and this is the perfect place to share them.
Thanks so much for including our lavender sensory bin. I love your creative table posts and inspirations so much!!
