8 kids’ homework desks to help your child stay organized + motivated
These functional desks promote learning and organization during homework time.
It's important for school-age children to have a "work space" to call their own. A kids desk is a great place for children to do homework, and the perfect spot to learn how to keep their things organized by taking ownership of their own space.
While the homework vs. no homework debate won't likely be ending any time soon, the fact is, at some point your child will be asked to complete this integral part of the learning process. Desks can also be creative space to make art, draw and store collectables.
The kids' desks we've found are functional, available at a variety of price points and easy to keep organized , with a goal of keeping your child motivated while they do their homework each afternoon.
Not only does this small modern desk and hutch set from Crate & Kids appeal to my minimalist eye, but it's the perfect size for after school homework. This unique kids desk includes an integrated power outlet/USB port little ones can use to charge their devices. I also love the hutch's modular pegboard system for organization, which features two shelves and a cubby that are adjustable, allowing little learners to customize their own storage. Plus, there's an additional shelf up top, drawer space, an open side cubby and easy access to the desk's integrated power outlet through the bottom of the hutch.

The FlexiSpot desk proposes to take your child "from kindergarten to college". Pretty cool, right? Per their website, "this style fosters a healthier learning environment by empowering your child to alternate between sitting and standing as needed—no manual lifting or lowering required. One touch is all it takes to raise the desktop height from 550 mm for short children up to 890 mm for tall adults."
Need more convincing? The desktop is waterproof, resisting stains and water damage. I also love the durable hook that attaches to the desk frame for storing your child's backpack, and the safety measures that make this desk fully child-proofed with anti-collision sensors, smooth corners, and more.
