Parents are tired every day now. The main reason is that they face heavy work every day and have to take care of their children, which makes them even more tired. So, if we create an interesting play space for children in our backyard, wouldn’t it reduce the burden of adults, free up parents’ hands, and bring joy to children at the same time? Here are 15 backyard playground ideas for you.
1. DIY backyard playground
We can build a tree house in the backyard. The tree house is built with solid wood, with ladders, windows and small balconies, etc. We can add pulley systems or telescopes to give children their own secret bases and stimulate imagination and creativity.
2. Artistic painting ideas
We can set up a blackboard wall outdoors, but we need to install a large waterproof blackboard on the fence or exterior wall to prevent damage in rainy days, and provide children with colored chalk. Children can doodle, create murals, play games, practice writing, etc., to give full play to their artistic and imaginative talents.
3. Sand pit creative games
We prepare sand pit amusement facilities in the backyard. We need to build a sunshade structure on top, set up built-in storage space for toys, and add a mini excavator arm or bury "treasures". Children can organize games to play and increase the fun.
4. kids outdoor play area
We design swing ideas in the outdoor backyard. Old chairs, skateboards or cargo boards can be transformed into swings, or ready-made swing frames can be purchased. There are many forms such as single swings and multi-person swings, so that children can enjoy the fun of swinging and exercise their balance and courage.
5. Rock climbing wall
We need to install the rock climbing wall on the wall of the yard or an independent bracket, choose climbing handles and safety protection measures suitable for children, help children exercise physical strength, perseverance and climbing ability, and cultivate courage.
6. Obstacle game creativity
In our backyard, we can use ropes, tires, hula hoops, balance beams and other daily items to set up obstacle courses, such as climbing ropes, jumping tires, drilling obstacles, etc., regularly change the layout, add new elements, enhance the fun, so that children will not be bored, and can also exercise children's coordination and challenge ability.
7. Water play area
The weather is hot in summer. Here in our outdoor backyard, we can set up water slides, inflatable swimming pools, water trampolines and other facilities, and prepare some water guns, water balloons and other toys, so that children can play in the water and enjoy the coolness.
8. Music garden creativity
We can hang old pots, basins, wind chimes, etc. in the backyard, make wooden or PVC tube xylophones, drums and other musical instruments, let children explore sounds and rhythms, and cultivate music perception and creativity.
9. Air slide ideas
We can use a small zip line to make a self-sliding device in the backyard. It is necessary to install a small zip line for children between two trees or two pillars, and then equip it with a safety seat and protective device, so that children can experience the excitement of air slide and enhance their self-confidence.
10. Home playground ideas
We can create children's favorite fairy tale house to make family amusement ideas. We can buy finished products or make fairy tale houses, elf houses and other fairy tale-style buildings with natural materials, so that children can role-play in them, as if entering a fairy tale world.
11. Camping area fun
The camping area sets up a camping area, where tents, sleeping bags, picnic tables and chairs are placed, so that children can experience the fun of camping. They can also watch the stars and tell stories together at night to enhance parent-child relationships.
12. Racing track
We need to find a blank site, and then use wooden boards, bricks, stones, etc. to build a racing track, which is suitable for remote control cars, toy cars and other competitions, to meet children's racing dreams and exercise hand-eye coordination.
13. Sensory creative play area
We need to put a sensory table in the backyard. This table must be placed in a cool place and at a height suitable for children. It should be filled with water, sand, dry beans and other materials, so that children can touch and play, stimulate their sensory development and cultivate their spirit of exploration.
14. Small garden play area ideas
We can plant plants that butterflies like, such as milkweed and purple echinacea, in the backyard garden to attract butterfly larvae and butterflies, so that children can observe the growth process of butterflies and learn about natural ecology.
15. Park backyard role-playing area
In the kitchen at home, we can use old pots, basins, bowls and other kitchen utensils to set up a mud kitchen in the yard, so that children can use "ingredients" such as mud, leaves, branches, etc. to cook games and give full play to their imagination and creativity.
