As we love being
outdoors our garden is somewhere we spend lots of time when we are
not out and about having adventures in the woods, beaches, castles
and beautiful countryside which are a stones throw away from our
home.
Being a family who
spends most of their time outside in the garden especially during the
spring and summer months I have plans to make the garden more fun and
appealing for the kids than it already is.
Mud kitchen
Inspired by memories of
my childhood I am building the kids a mud kitchen in the corner of
the garden where they can have fun getting muddy and creating me
tasty mud-filled pies and cakes which if anything like I was as a
child will be decorated with leaves and flowers.
Garden toys
Taking inspiration from
Bug's recent drawing and wish list of his perfect Easter birthday garden party that was filled with outdoor toys I hope to get a few
more outdoor toys for the garden. I would love a garden with outdoor
that are perfect for both the boys with toys that they can play with
together and toys they can play with individually with the toys being
suited to their ages and interests.
Green fingered space
As I recently mentioned
Bug follows in his mummy's footsteps in having an interest in being green fingered and growing flowers, fruit and veg. Because Bug loves
to garden and I hope that Jelly Bean will enjoy joining us too as we
plant and tend to our crops I would love a dedicated space in the
garden for planting, potting and growing our fruit and veg. As such I
have been looking at greenhouses to find the perfect one for us where
we can garden to our hearts content.
Kid friendly seating
With two kids in the
house now and friends often popping over for little play-dates I want
to have some bright and colourful kid friendly seating in the garden
where the little ones can sit for a break in-between play and enjoy
picnics at.
Sensory space
As we love sensory play
I would be over the moon to have a sensory space in the garden for
the kids to benefit from. To evoke all the senses I hope on having a
few different features in the space such as aromatic plants, a
miniature wooden playhouse they can play with, a sand box, wind
chimes and a musical wall, a racing track amongst the flowers and
plants, an interactive wall with blackboard and busy board, and the
kids' garden crafts.
What child friendly
features do you have in your garden that make the garden fun for
little ones?
