Kids...Go Horse Around Under The Table

When I was a kid, I remember going with my parents to a fancy home of the old-school "C family" in the center of Israel. We sat down for lunch at their dining room table, which was a slab of see-through glass on a wood swerving maze base. At one point in the meal, my parents began looking for my younger brother, then 3 years old. They could not find him around the house and then with Mr. C at the head of the table, they looked down through the glass to see my brother smiling and waving at them through the glass. Mr. C was apoplectic and my parents chuckled apologetically. The glass maze table was no place to horse around.

Well, all that is about to change. My sister, who was at the same meal and is now a mother of 7 herself, got tired of telling her kids to stop playing in, around and under the table. In the spirit of "if you can't beat em, join em," she designed these super fun table covers where kids can legitimately horse around under the table. The not-see-through design means your kids will not be smiling up at you like my brother did but it should provide hours of fun for your kids to make mischief and have fun in their own table-house. No more makeshift tent making that drags the table with it, it is all built into the Table Fables product that my sis designed and is now marketed by Nordstrom. You can get the dollhouse version or the school bus one. So if you have kids or you miss those days where you also smiled at your parents from under the table, you can buy them at Nordstrom.com (where it is a featured toys product right now) and start having fun right away.
