Kids Table Ideas?

We have lots of kids in our family, and I really want a kids table!  I am really trying to avoid putting any food/candy on the table. And I already have some of the safe alternatives, or 'basics' you might say, like crayons, coloring books, bubbles and so forth... Does anyone else have some unique ideas of what I could do?

    If there are not a lot you can buy disposable cameras and do an I-Spy game that the kids can take pictures of.

    A friend's wedding had a Legos table, which I thought was brilliant: appeals to a range of ages, quiet, doesn't make a mess, etc.  They can be a choking hazard for little ones, but they would be too young to sit without a parent anyway.

    You could also provide some inexpensive, cardboard picture frames (available at craft stores) along with stickers and markers (assuming you want to avoid glue for easy clean-up) that each child can decorate for a souvenir from the day.  Even better if you made time to take a quick photo with each child to put in the frame--how special would that make them feel!

    Depending on ages, puzzles and travel-sized games might be good.

    This really doesn't pertain to a kids table but can be a  lot of fun for the kids...especially if there will be several, but we are doing a candy toss for the kids (still deciding on whether to do a bouquet toss or not since there will hardly be any single women at our wedding) but would probably do this around the same time.

    Make a 'tablecloth' of a huge sheet of paper and supply crayons, have little bottles of bubbles (NOT the big bottles, I sort of think it's exponentially harder to clean up bubble soap with every additional spilled ouce.)

    Maybe a building toy like lincoln logs, knex or legos if the kiddoes are big enough not to choke.  Little bits like hotwheels cars or platic toy animals are good too.

    At my SIL's wedding, they had a few boxes of markers (although I would recommend washable crayons...no stains on dresses), a large container filled with coloring books, and a bouncy castle outside. I think they may have also had a paper tablecloth so they could color there also. It went over great! It kept the kids busy, out of trouble, and happy :)
