As we finally say goodbye to the snow, our attention turns
to summer and the most important area of the home in this glorious season, the
garden. Making the area child friendly is really important especially when our
little ones are very inquisitive and tend to pick up every little thing. Here
are my top tips for creating a child friendly garden.
Fake grass
Say goodbye to those awful grass stains on clothes with fake grass. It
cushions the ground to eliminate the risk of any nasty accidents and provides
the perfect landing for those little trips and falls too. Play time is anytime
as you no longer have to wait for hours on end for the grass to dry. Plus,
there is no longer any need to clean up those muddy footprints across the
kitchen floor.
Seating Areas
Child friendly seating is a great way to enjoy a family meal
outdoors together on a lovely summer’s day. It can double up as an arts and
crafts area too – perfect to avoid that never ending stream of glitter turning
up for days after.
Play Areas
Planters/ Vegetable
Patch
Keeping a touch of nature in your garden is important. Planters
are a beautiful addition to add some colour whilst also great for teaching
children about nature. Get them involved by planting their own seeds and
watching them grow. For the more advanced gardener, why not start a family vegetable
patch. These are perfect for teaching children about food groups and the
importance of helping the environment.
I hope these tips help you create a child friendly garden in
your home. Now roll on the summer weather so we can all get outdoors and enjoy
it!
