If your home has a garden outside, you likely enjoy spending time there – especially during summer. Kids especially love being outdoors and interacting with the natural world, but some parents must realise their gardens might not always be fun places for their children.
For example, if there’s a lot of construction rubble or junk in the garden, it’s probably not a fun (or safe) place for kids to hang out.
You’re likely reading this today because you want some ideas and inspiration to help you create the perfect outdoor space for your offspring that they’ll love in the summer and throughout the rest of the year.
Take a look at these five fantastic examples to give you a helping hand with your garden makeover project:
1. Build A Treehouse
The ultimate garden feature that kids and adults alike will love is a treehouse. It’s the place where children can express themselves through play and have a space of their own outside of their homes that no one will invade or damage.
You could hire an architect to design a treehouse for your garden or do all the work yourself using 3D design tools and precision measuring tools.
Whether you build the treehouse or pay someone else to do it, one thing’s sure: your kids will love spending time in it!
2. Create A Miniature Gnome World
Garden gnomes are interesting art pieces that brighten up outdoor spaces of all sizes.
They’re sure to put a smile on people’s faces, and you can get them in various styles, sizes, and colors. Moreover, they’re cheap, so you can purchase dozens or even hundreds of them!
Did you know that you can create a miniature garden gnome world for your kids to enjoy? Whether your children are toddlers or older, they’ll enjoy making a fantasy world with garden gnomes – whatever the weather!
3. Make An Artistic Area
If garden gnomes aren’t your thing or likely something your kids won’t enjoy, another idea is to create a dedicated artistic space.
For example, you could erect a chalkboard they can decorate however they wish or give them artistic license to paint some of your wooden fence panels in bright and vibrant colors.
4. Set Up A Fruit And Vegetable Patch
Children love to learn about the world around them, and every day is an educational experience – even when they’re not at school.
If you’d like to teach them how fruit and vegetables grow and how to lead a more self-sustainable life when they’re older, how about creating a fruit and vegetable patch in your garden?
It’s the perfect opportunity to teach them about responsibility while giving them a sense of achievement.
5. Create A Sensory Garden Corner
One final idea to make your outdoor space more kid-friendly is to create a dedicated sensor corner in your garden. You could grow some aromatic herbs and flowers together, helping to stimulate their sense of smell.
Add some different textures, such as sand, pebbles or rocks, or even wood chippings, to end up with a fun and sensory outdoor experience that your kids and their friends will enjoy!
