Hello and welcome to fikirsaati.com! Today I want to share a few ideas with you and talk about kid-friendly backyard ideas on a budget. A few months ago, I published a post about adding ideas for storing children’s playrooms in my home. A lot of people loved the post, so I wanted to extend the idea to the backyard as well.
Kids need a place to play inside so I don’t go crazy, but they also need things to do outside. As always, it takes a lot of research to write these posts, but it’s worth it because I always get so many ideas!! Here are some of the great research I’ve done and I plan to update the website with some of my projects.
Regardless of the size of your backyards; today I have collected all sorts of great ideas on how to approach backyard designs for kids and use your space really well!
Backyard for Kids Design Tips
Small Splash Pad and Umbrella
What could be better than water fun in the garden for a child? The great thing about a splash guard is that cleaning is super easy and not as expensive as a pool. Throwing in a nice freestanding umbrella is the icing on the cake! This sweet idea comes from collectlycasey.com
Here’s my little girl running for splash protection before I could change her clothes, haha. I used this spray pad and it was great.
DIY Outdoor Chalkboard
This great idea can actually be built with wood and chalkboard paint, or you can buy the chalkboard! It’s a great project for a practical person. The accessories for the construction include the 2 Hardie boards, chalk paint, wood for the frame, exterior paint for the frame, hooks for hanging buckets, liquid nails/real nails and screws for fixing the fence.
Refurbish with Paint
Well, they are children. Toys (and furniture) are played with and old. The great thing is that we can always make it new with exterior paint!
Outdoor Kiddie Lounge
So in love with this idea and it would look great even in a game room. Find a round children’s pool like this, add some pillows and blankets and violà!
DIY Sandbox and Gravel Pit
Such a cool idea! I’ve seen sandboxes, but no gravel boxes. All you need is a few garden bowls (or plastic children’s pools), play sand, gravel, toys and a child! Get the guide on theimaginationtree.com !
Classic Slide For Young Kids
Both my 5-year-old boy and my three-year-old girl still love their little slide. You can’t go wrong with this supplement.
Jungle Kiddie Pool
You can’t go wrong with a paddling pool! Especially on hot days! Quick and easy to fill and have fun for hours. Pretty simple, but I had to include it.
Sand and Water Play Table
I’m telling you right now, if you have small children, then you NEED one of them in your life !! My Kids play with their table Everytime. Single. Day. If you don’t have one, check out the water table below! You will not regret it.
DIY Sandbox Tent
This is another one of my favorites. DIY is often the best way to go if you want quality but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg. Get the build guide on Tarynwhiteaker.com !
Inflatable Outside Paint Easel
Another favorite that is sure to please the kids. What could be better than a paint surface that you can spray outside?
Slip and Slide
Adventurous? Add a Slip ‘n slide! They have been around for years and, frankly, children, teenagers and adults still love them.
Rainbow Numbered Hopscotch
I’ve seen this idea a few times and I have to say, it just looks so inviting. My kids would love that in turn and it’s a budget-friendly project.
Natural Rock Toy Car Roadway
I adore this idea because it is both simple and a budget-friendly idea for a backyard playground!
DIY Tire Sandbox with Umbrella
This is so cute, I love it. Yours may not look exactly the same, but combine a painted old tire, sand and a small umbrella and violà! You will have a beauty! Go to a junkyard and pick up a tire if you don’t have one!
