If you are a happy owner of a garden or an outdoor space, and if you have kids, it’s time to work: make an outdoor kids’ play area or update an existing one! We’ve gathered the coolest play areas with various parts and elements that you may steal to make your children happy.
First of all, consider what activities your kids like and make a list of them to figure out what spaces you have to add to your outdoor spaces. A sandbox is the most popular idea for the most little ones; swings will do for different ages and sexes. Make an outdoor play kitchen and a sport ground with various stairs and climbing areas – such ideas always attract different children and inspire them to be active. Go for a garden tic-tac-toe, a fairy house or garden, a mud kitchen or a play café. Think of making a playhouse if your kids don’t have one, or at least make a teepee to let your child have some personal space. Go for a chalkboard or an outdoor play theater, a mini veggie garden or a grocery store – it depends on what games your kids love a lot. Second, consider the style of your house and outdoor space if any and contineu it while designing your kids’ space, so it will look more cohesive. If your house is rustic, use stained wood while building a play area, if it’s a Scandinavian one, stick to monochrome and minimal designs, and so on.

Third, and very important: make every zone safe – cover it with grass or with sand because kids often run and they can fall – avoid any injuries. No grass? Go for a faux lawn then. Add colorful and fun toys and other stuff your children may need while playing but again choose safe ones according to the age of your kid. The oudoor play area for kids should be colorful or somehow dotted with color to attract kids, so keep it bright, add artwork, figurines and other cute and fun decor. Get inspired by the ideas below!
