Some of them even have umbrellas!

As the weather continues to warm up there is usually one question in mind. How can we get the kids outside as much as humanly possible? The answer is simple: make the outdoors as welcoming as possible. Add backyard string lights, a few outdoor rocking chairs, and a kid-size picnic table if you have little ones in tow. Kids and toddlers alike will be delighted to abandon the indoors and retreat to the yard for meal and playtime if there is a table just for them.

What makes having a dedicated space for activities outside even better is that the indoors can stay nice and pristine. That's right banish all messy activities that kids can't get enough of (we're looking at you, slime!) to the patio. Plus, once it's time to serve lunch you can bring it outside, so if anyone is drenched from playing in the sprinkler they won't track water indoors. Providing children with appropriately sized furniture motivates them to be more independent in other ways. It also does wonders for their confidence. We have rounded up the 11 best kids' picnic tables to suit a wide variety of needs.

If you aren't the most handy, this is the pick for you. There are no tools required: simply snap the pieces together and enjoy. We love the Step2 brand for its durability. Made from molded plastic, it stands up to messes. This model can seat up to 6 kids or 300 pounds. Plus, the leaf umbrella is super cute!

Are you even relaxing by the pool if you aren't in a frog folding chair? Children will be delighted to catch some rays in this set. The chairs fold up for easy transport to other parts of the yard.

The sink recycles its own water, making it more eco-friendly than leaving the hose running. The set is made complete with a fab umbrella to keep things shady. The hidden compartment can store toys or serve as a mini sandbox.

If you or your child is obsessed with Lego building, this is the table for you. Can you imagine how nice it will be to bring the joy of legos outdoors? Plus, the Mickey Mouse design is a fun touch.

This clever table comfortably sits six to eight children. When it isn't in use, simply fold it up and store it away. It can even be hung on the wall for convenient storage. The umbrella provides shade on sunny summer days.

The grownups will be envious of this stylish set. The navy striped cushions and matching umbrella elevate this table and bench set. It's made to last from durable stained wood.

This pint-size table is available in 8 different shades. We are especially into the Pacific blue colorway. The set is made from weather-resistant Polywood materials that can stand up to sun and wind. It comes with a 20-year manufacturer's residential warranty so you can shop with confidence.

Although this table is a steal at $60, it doesn't lack anything. It's made of real wood finished in a weather resistant stain to keep it looking nice year after year. The bright blue legs provide a fun pop of color.

Kids will love that the center component is a sand pit, and parents will love the classic design. The sturdy table can hold up to 30 pounds of sand.

This table seats comfortably seats six. The three-sided design makes it easy to play games or pass toys.

It should come as no surprise that Ikea has one of the least-expensive options on our list. This simple, classic version is made of solid acacia wood and can be re-stained if it starts to show wear.
