It is hard to say... they are much bigger than my little ones obviously, so they will sit higher on the seats, but the table could still be too tall unless you lowered it. You could buy one and stack something on top of it to try, and then return it if it doesn't work! Adding some foam to make the seats higher could also help!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553258923443365271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954128021552037804.post-47333608473755350762012-08-11T01:00:43.222-04:002012-08-11T01:00:43.222-04:00We don't go back to school until late August, ...We don't go back to school until late August, but I will measure the plywood when I am allowed back in my classroom!
