Tape box closed. Use a matte knife to cut away areas shown below. Opening in front should be at about 8" high so a child can fit comfortably underneath without the table being too high. Save scraps. Cover with contact paper.
Cut a piece of poster board to fit the top. Cover it with clear contact paper. The surface will work with dry erase markers. Hot glue it to the top.
From your scrap, cut three 1" corrugated strips the same length as your table top. Glue them together one on top of the other. Glue on the bottom edge of the table top to form a lip to keep the markers from falling off.
Trim the top off a snack box and cover with contact paper. Hot glue it to the side of the box. Push a paper cup into the snack box to hold markers. Use the rest of the box to hold small activity books and felt for erasing.
