Our award-winning child-sized lap desks, featuring one of our colorful, inspiring designs, are perfect for children from ages 2 through 12. These baskets, personalized by hand, are just the right size for special projects or learning activities and sit nicely on little laps.

McLagan Family Farm has been making personalized children's lap desks for 16 years and marketing them at leading Art, Craft, and Gift Shows around the country. In the process we have won many awards for the graphics and designs on these inexpensive children's gifts. Our best references are the children themselves, and the parents and grandparents who buy these gifts for them. But don't take our word for it. We invite you to read what our customers have said about our product.

Each original and detailed image is personalized and painted on quarter inch birch plywood, then sealed and finished with non-toxic polyurethane. The wood top slides easily on and off a color coordinated plastic basket. The lapdesk top measures 15.7" by 11.3", and is 5.7" deep. Because the desk is completely washable, ice cream spills, peanut butter smudges, and crayon marks clean up with soap and water or your favorite household cleaner.

We have many designs to choose from, and one of them is sure to be just right for your child.

Boys and girls of all ages love the colorful Frogs, our Dog with an attitude, and our brightly colored Sea Life with tropical fish and dolphins. Check out our School Desk design for the little scholar or as a great gift for a teacher's room.

Does your little girl love dolls and animals? The Baby Doll resembles an exquisite porcelain doll. As your little girl grows up she will love our Glamour Doll in her purple gown.

Your little boy can have a fire fighting Dalmatian with his Fire Engine, or imagine playing with the very popular, big Construction trucks.
