5. The Picnic Table Platform

If the “Chair” (Idea #1) isn’t enough, go for the full picnic table! This is a flat platform with a tiny table and benches. It’s a great way to offer a variety of foods like nuts, apple slices, and seeds all in one spot.

  • Materials Needed:
    • Cedar or pine wood scraps
    • Small bowl or bottle cap (for water or seeds)
  • Steps:
    • Build a miniature picnic table (plenty of free plans are available online).
    • Mount the table to a flat platform or a fence railing.
    • Place nuts on the table and watch the “fine dining” begin.
