The '''Activity Table''' is a [[Toy#Skill toys|toy]] for [[toddler]]s and [[child]]ren included in ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Up to four Sims can play with it, provided they all have room to get to it. A similar play table is included in ''[[The Sims 4: Parenthood]]'', which can be used by Sims aged child and up.

}}Toddlers and children can play with blocks, which builds [[Mechanical]] skill and [[Tinkering]] [[enthusiasm]]; or they can draw, which builds [[Creativity]] skill and [[Arts and Crafts]] enthusiasm. However, they will not be able to draw if all accessible drawing pads have completed drawings. Children and older Sims can clean the table up, which will put the blocks away and clear the drawing pads, or can scrap individual drawings. This adds a small amount of [[Cleaning]] skill, but often reduces Fun. In [[Buy mode|Buy]] or [[Build mode|Build]] mode, the drawings can be picked up with the Hand tool, and can be hung on the wall.

Toddlers can build relationships with one another by playing together at the table, but this will be slow unless they have [[Toddler skills|learned to talk]].

==The Sims 3==
Activity tables in ''The Sims 3'' are very similar to the Teeny Tikes Activity Table, they look similar, and they all cost around §200. However, activity tables only allow toddlers and children to play with blocks. Children can build the Blocks [[secret skill]] by playing with them. When they grow up into teenagers, the Blocks secret skill will transfer into [[Handiness]] skill. The Blocks secret skill goes up to level 3.

The '''Genesis Building Blocks''' is similar to the Teeny Tykes Activity Table, looks much like it, and also costs §200. However, it only allows toddlers and children to play with blocks. Children can build the Blocks [[secret skill]] by playing with it. When they grow up into teenagers, the Blocks secret skill will transfer into [[Handiness]] skill. The Blocks secret skill goes up to level 3.

==The Sims 4==
Activity tables are reintroduced in the base game. The main difference to older games is that only one Sim can use them at a time, and that toddlers cannot interact with them. Children can use these tables to create various drawings and decorations that can be displayed on walls or sold. ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'' adds season and holiday related crafts for children to draw. Using an activity table builds the [[Creativity (The Sims 4)|creativity]] skill.
 
In addition to adding a regular activity table, ''[[The Sims 4: Parenthood]]'' also adds a play table that functions differently, where Sims play with blocks instead of draw. Playing with blocks builds the [[motor]] skill for children and the [[logic]] skill for older Sims. Even though it is categorized as a children's toy, older Sims can play with it without any children present.

In ''The Sims 4: Parenthood'', the '''Buildems Blocks Play Table''' is a family activity with a [[fun]] score of 6. Playing with blocks builds the [[motor]] skill for children and the [[logic]] skill for older Sims. Even though it is categorized as a children's toy, older Sims can play with it without any children present.
'''+''' Motor skill
 
The object's in-game description says that it can only be used by toddlers (and that it builds their [[imagination]] skill). However, toddlers are unable to use the object until older Sims have finished building a structure on it. At that point, it functions much like a [[dollhouse]].
