The floor.

We had a toddler size table that the grandparents bought. I finally bribed
my son to use it one day so I could take a picture to send them. It was
sold when we moved, since he was too big for it now.

We paint at the kitchen table sometimes, but it keeps getting used for
meals. We have a table for the keyboard, and a small one that our chess set
seems to permanently live at now. Otherwise, everything is done on a bed,
the sofa, or the floor. Oh, and I have a desk. But it's a dumping ground.

Everyone in my family has ended up with full-size office type desks in
some form or another. Dh scored us two nice ones from his company years
ago when we were both working at home. Over the years I've collected
others at garage sales, etc. We all need desks because we all have
computers. (Some day I'm getting a laptop, tho, and won't be needing
this big old desk anymore. I'm going to read my email in bed!)

Dh won me a very nice office chair by putting his business card in a
hat. I bought him a nice one a few years ago, so that meant the kids
got the old ones for their desks. So it looks like we bought everyone
desks by design, but that's not really true. We'd get a computer, and
then get a desk. The computer would need upgrading and handed down and
so the recipient would get a desk for his "new" computer.

We have a Fisher-Price picnic table in the library that we have always
used for painting and gluing. But the youngest has outgrown it now. It
will be sold at the next garage sale.

School desks are totally unnecessary in our house. I just don't see the
point.

If you need big desks, you might want to find out if your government holds
sales of surplus office equipment. Here in Victoria, we can get big
office-sized desks for about $25.

Look in the paper at the end of the school year and you may be able to find
some of those kid sized tables that are used in Pre-K and K. I've always
wanted to get one of the half circle sharped ones for myself to scrapbook
on.
Of course, I would have to sit on teh floor1
