FINALLY got the Lego train table built - kid is obsessed

Dec 14·1 min read

Spent all of last weekend building that Kallax Lego table from Pinterest that everyone keeps posting. My 7yo watched me do like 80% of it (okay fine, he 'helped' by handing me pieces but mostly got in the way) and now he's been building track layouts for 4 days straight. Haven't heard "I'm bored" once. Worth the $200 and the back pain honestly. If anyone else is thinking about it - go to Ikea on a weekday or you'll lose your mind in the chaos.

Dude. 4 days straight with zero 'I'm bored' is worth every minute of that build. That's the dream right there.

wait so you built 80% and he built 20% but he gets to take full credit for the layouts now? that's actually a solid parenting move not gonna lie

The Kallax tables are GOAT for this. I did the same thing and my 6yo has legitimately spent more time on it than actual school sometimes lol. And yeah the 'helping' is 10% actual help 90% supervision but honestly that's part of it?

This is making me want to order one. How much did the whole thing run you including the actual Lego tracks?

Did you use the actual LEGO train motor or just track layouts? Because if you add the motor train it's a whole different level of engagement
