Our baby girl got tons of Lego Duplos and a building Mat for Christmas!...she loved it Them! So, hubby decided he would make a table for her to build on, and store all of her Legos that were in three different containers. My hubby went out and found this awesome little ottoman at target (on sale for $20). Which he transformed into an adorable little storage bin for her Legos, and when the top is flipped over it is a table to build with! Just trimmed the board down, and…See Morepin 2.5kheart 234speech 1 I'm thinking of making a LEGO table but my two children both use different LEGO sizes. My oldest uses normal LEGO and my youngest uses DUPLO. I'm wondering if there is a base plate that both types of LEGO bricks will work on? A regular LEGO base plate will work with DUPLO bricks. As demonstated in this question, the two systems are compatible in a number of ways.
Here's an example of System base plates with DUPLO bricks attached: It should be noted that not all DUPLO bricks will be able to connect to a System baseplate. Some examples of incompatibility are round bricks and some of the minifigs and animals. In order for these to connect you'll need a DUPLO brick or baseplate on top of the System baseplate. Regular LEGO baseplates can accommodate both LEGO and DUPLO. DUPLO obviously won't stick to regular baseplates as securely as on a DUPLO plate because the studs are much smaller, but they are compatible. There are some pre-made LEGO tables that already have baseplates (or third-party LEGO compatible baseplates) incorporated in the top surface, or you can make your own table and cover the top with baseplates. LEGO sells baseplates separately on their website, and they are also available at stores like Toys'R'Us. I have seen the pre-made tables at Toy'R'Us as well, and they are also available on eBay. What you need is a Nilo brick mat.
It's a rubbery mat that has standard (small) lego studs on one side, and dulpo on the other. You can buy them on Amazon, Ebay or straight from Nilo. Thank you for your interest in this question.

He’s making little guys, and they are robots and they are BEAUTIFUL. In order to facilitate his Lego genius, I am going to get all DIY and make, I mean have Christian make, the coolest DIY Lego table ever. It’s fun to design things and make other people put them together for you. In any event, I scraped the internet for some ideas and here are the best ones I found, because research is the first step in designing a new item.
The second step is buying hundreds of dollars of Legos. Let’s take a Lego table tour now. Interestingly, a lot of them out there are Ikea hacks… 1. This DIY play table has an amazing number of drawers, which are feature #1 to look for in Lego tables. You could slap some Lego plates on the top of this and call it a day. It would look cute with a little chair or kid ottoman. 2. I’m sort of all coveting this table, but ultimately I think it may be a bit giant for our needs. Beckett tends to play with his Legos all over the place, so a smaller table area is better for us. 3. If you need to save some space and not have yet another furniture item on your floor, this is a cool idea to tuck onto an extra wall space. I was really happy to see that the Legos are not arranged according to color in these bins, because that is NOT REAL LIFE. 4. Now this one from That mommy Blog is interesting, because you can change the height of the table area, and holy NUTS, look at all that storage.
