ABC Fun Pads: A fun way to help keep your child (and your coffee table) safe

ABC Fun Pads are padded coffee table covers with an elasticized edge that will fit a wide variety of sizes of coffee tables. They are intended to help protect both the child and the table from bumps and bruises. One side is a solid color and the other reverses to a fun print- "City Adventures"/gray (photo at left) or "Baby the Great Explorer"/pink (castles and moats).  One side for fun time and the other for when you want a more dressed up table protector. The safety part is fairly self-evident. It’s padding offer a bit of a cushion over the table. They do recommend edge bumpers for added protection on the sharper corners, so it is not meant to fully protect a child from serious injury. The padding is however plenty to help protect the coffee table from your child and to dull the edges.  They also suggest its use as a hot pad for serving cold drinks or warmer dishes from the coffee table.

The fun part is the additional added benefit of both the print and the solid sides themselves. The printed sides turn your boring old coffee table into a much more child friendly play table. They also suggest using the solid side for art projects, since the pad is machine washable. However, only use washable markers, crayons and the like if you want to keep the solid side solid. The elasticized edges make it easy to flip, move around  or remove for washing. You can even take it with you because it is adaptable to a wide variety of table sizes.
