I don't have them off the top of my head but I can take measurements later today if need be. In ruff size it is slightly smaller then what a nominal 1 x 12 is, and reasonable square. This can be made with just butt joints or done up with other joints which will effect the workpiece sizes.
The rounds and cut outs are also optional or could be done with what ever you like. I used some cut off wood out of the Menards scrap bin but one could use a hardwood but if it is for a little one weight could be an issue.

Yes I did finish one of these and thought I might want to get a picture before it is delivered. Now remember this is scrap wood out of a bin at the local Menards store.
The first image is of it in table or tall step up stool.

My wife likes it so well she wants one, sized up to adult size of course. Who knows it might be interesting, out of plywood perhaps??
