TIP NO. 1
Give Them a Place to Play
If you build it they will come. And play! Playsets can be as simple as a swing set or as elaborate as a small village, and some are even sturdy enough for the parental units to hang out in, too.
TIP NO. 2
Give Them a Place to Chill
Chairs made for smaller frames are attractive to kids because they have their own special space. Why not find one that also shelters your little ones from the sun?
TIP NO. 3
Get Sporty
You don't need a yard the size of a soccer field to get them moving. A contained sport set, such as badminton or tetherball, will get them running and jumping even in the smaller spaces.
TIP NO. 4
Bring the Beach Home
There's something really special about a sandbox, and if you can find one that also safeguards your kids from the elements, even better.
The kid with the pool is the sultan of summer. Whether it's a kiddie pool or something grander , hot weather calls for a bathing suit and a bunch of pool toys.
More Tips For Your
Kid's Wonderland
Kid's Wonderland
- Keep'em moving. Mini trampolines transfer easily with seasons from you basement to your yard.
- Pedals not required. Get a set of glide bikes for tykes to speed around indoors and on your patio.
- Soften the edges. Replace your landscape border with soft rubber borders for your active kids.
- Ditch the dirt. Use artificial grass to make a remote section of your yard "appealing" to your pet.
