Creating an outdoor play area

 If you have an outdoor space or a garden, you'll know just how much your children love being outside, playing with outdoor toys, engaging in imaginary play and creating games. Here are a few ways you can really make the most of your outdoor space for your children.

Creating a secure safe area

Ensuring your children have a safe space to play is of vital importance. Making sure you have good quality fencing and a secure garden gate is a must to ensure the area is a safe space in which to to play.

Build a Playhouse 
Playhouses benefit children by fostering creativity, social skills, and physical development in a dedicated, imaginative space. It also means they can be in the garden when it starts to drizzle as they will stay nice and dry in their little house!

Climbing Frames

Climbing frames are great fun for children. Not only will they develop hand eye coordination but they will also gain in muscle strength, increased focus and will also develop problem solving skills. Look for climbing frames that are sturdy, durable and lots of fun! 

Sand and Water Table
Little ones also love playing with a sand and water table. Sand and water play benefits children through sensory, cognitive, physical, and social development.

Relaxation area

Children need to unwind and relax just like adults do so why not set up a relaxation area with a cosy bean bag and soft blankets.



Art area
When there is dry weather you may like to set up a little area with an easel and paints so they can get creative. Just a pack of chalks will inspire endless creativity.
