Grand-daughter's craft desk

My grand-daughter is only 19 months old, but she LOVES to be at my craft table "playing" with all my things. So, I decided to get her a desk of her own to have in the craft room. I wanted something very small since my craft room is very small also. This is perfect. I can drag it to the middle of the room and she can watch her video's and color or eat a snack. I have put her crayons in the little cup and some copy paper in the bin located below the seat. It is just perfect for her and she won't outgrow it for quite some time. I got it at Walmart for $40 and had it shipped to the store, so I didn't have to pay for shipping (thank goodness because it is pretty heavy).



Thanks for looking!
