For the seat supports and table supports, you can make a decorative 45-degree cut on both ends. Start with cutting the pieces, and slice the leg angle cuts very carefully, as they are significant for the support system of a Childrens outdoor picnic table.

Then place the board on the apron in a way that equal amount of the board project from each side. Drill pilot holes and then secure the board on the apron. There are chances that the board might not be perfectly aligned to the top of the table, so you can trim down the ends using a circular saw, and finally use sandpaper for softening the ends.
