Make and Sell Kiddies Furniture
Kiddies want furniture. You want money. Make and sell kiddies furniture. Make a range of childrens furniture
suitable for children and affordable for parents.
The older your target market for kiddies’ furniture is, the more elaborate the design and construction needs
to be. A toddler, for instance, will be elated at being given a set of wooden cubes, using the largest cube as a
table, and other cubes as chairs. Once the kiddies start going to school, they may want a table that has real legs,
and chairs must have backs. And don’t forget a table cloth if the kiddies’ furniture set is to be used to host a
tea party.
Making semi-scale furniture makes sense; inasmuch the child will be able to enjoy the furniture for a
longer time.
Kiddies’ furniture does not need to be restricted to just tables and chairs. Children will want more
furniture than this, if it is available. A kiddies’ side-board, on which to display a favourite tea set,
a kiddies bed, in which to put a doll (maybe even the child as well), to have a nap. A fridge, with a light
that comes on when it is opened, and a stove with switches that turn will be good additions
to the furniture range.
All these items can be built using 18mm shutter ply. It is necessary to have a few woodworking
tools. A circular saw, electric screwdriver, large square and a drilling machine will help with many of the
tasks involved. If your kiddies furniture manufacturing business is to be your main source of income you may
consider making templates of the various panels required, in masonite, as this will reduce the risk of permanent
damage to your plans.
You will need space in which to work, and neighbours who will not complain about the noise you make,
especially when cutting with a circular saw.
To reduce manufacturing costs, apply only a sanding sealer finish to your items. This will allow your clients’
parents to finish the furniture item in a colour the child approves of. An alternate is to offer to paint the
item for an additional fee.
To find plans for children’s furniture, if you are unable to design kiddies furniture plans yourself, use Google,
or browse though
woodworkersworkshop.com for plans and ideas.
countrycornercrafts.com and freewoodpuzzles.com also have plans for children’s
furniture, some free, and some at a fee.
