How To Turn The Back Yard Into A Playground

July 21, 2020 by Ashley T

If there is one thing that children love about summer it’s the chance to spend time in the sunshine outside. If you are fortunate enough to have a backyard this summer, then you get to turn it into the children’s wonderland they always wanted. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, either, not when you can make a whole playground for children to enjoy without spending too much.

There are tons of fantastic things that you can add to a backyard to make it feel like a paradise for kids, and we’ve got some of the best things that you can do to turn your backyard into that playground that they’ll love.

Turn your backyard into that playground

  1. Grab The Chalks. Have you ever considered turning a part of your exterior wall into a chalkboard? You can add general finishes stain to the fences to make them look pretty, but if you add some chalkboard paint to a portion of the wall outside, you can ensure that they stay away from the fences and make pretty pictures on the outside of the house instead. Chalk is perfect for kids, as it washes off easily and doesn’t leave a hideous mess. Plus, you can make the outside chalkboard look fantastic.
  2. Install A Zip Line. If you have a long back yard this is the perfect adventure activity to enjoy. Your kids and their friends will get a kick out of sliding across the sky and having a blast with their friends. The adrenaline junkies out there can have a great time!
  3. Erect A Tent. Children love to build dens and hideaway in tents. You might not be able to get out to a proper campsite with the kids to enjoy a weekend away, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have your own tent in the back! 
  4. Buy Playground Equipment. If you want to truly turn your backyard into a playground, buy swings and a slide. This is likely going to be an expense you may not have factored, but it’s the surest way to make sure that you provide that playground feel to your kids.
  5. Rope & Tires. If you can’t afford to buy a whole playground suite, don’t panic. A couple of ropes and tires make for excellent swings in the backyard. If you have a sturdy tree, even better!
  6. Create Your Own Beach. All children have one thing in common: the beach is the place to be. A sandpit, a paddling pool, and a few buckets and spades and you’ve got yourself a mini beach in the backyard. It’s the most fun to be able to play in the sunshine, and children will love the fact that they have their own private beach to enjoy.

No matter which activities you choose to turn your backyard into a playground, you can enjoy every single second of it when you see the look on the children’s faces. Take the chance to turn your backyard into a dream this summer!
