Back-to-School DIY Pallet Activities

Back-to-school season hits every family differently — whether it's a first day of kindergarten or a move into a college dorm. Either way, pallets are a thrifty, eco-friendly way to build the things you need.

For the Younger Ones

A pallet picnic table with a built-in sandbox or toy chest is a fun weekend build. Break down the pallets, assemble the table, and add a hinged top to double as storage or play space.

For the Older Kids

• Dorm-ready bookshelves and desks built from sturdy stringer pallets.
• Wall-mounted organizers and key racks.
• Bunk-bed bases, headboards, and nightstands.
• Chalkboards and corkboards for study spaces.
