A play paradise in the garden

A play area is the ideal place for children to let off steam. They can give free rein to their desire to move, develop their motor skills and live out their creativity to the full. In your garden, they can play freely and safely. With very little effort, you can turn your garden into a real children's paradise. I'll show you what to look out for.
For children, a garden is usually already a place of great adventures. They are often very busy and happy playing hide-and-seek, running around and discovering nature. The play value of a simple stone should not be underestimated. With a minimum of elements, you can offer your children an even greater variety of outdoor games.
If you want to create a play area in your own garden, you'll need to consider the following:
- The space that is available
- The children's interests
- The age of the children
- Your budget
Space
Note that it's best not to fill the whole garden with permanently installed equipment. It's important that children also have room for free play, such as ball games or playing tag. Don't forget that a field of flowers or a pile of stones can be just as interesting for a child happy to make discoveries as a sophisticated play device.
Interest
Age
From the age of 2, a playground with slide, sandpit and tree house is a paradise for children. At this age, they can already occupy themselves well with these elements, more or less independently. The older the children, the more they enjoy taking on bigger challenges: higher, further, faster is the motto. They like to climb on play equipment and let off steam more and more often on the lawn by playing ball games.
My suggestions
With these items, you can create a play paradise for children aged around 2 to 3 years.
As an alternative to plastic products, you can also design your garden play area with wooden products.
Tired of being cooped up in your own house and living too far from a playground? Then I've got a tip for you: on the freizeitplatz.ch page, you'll find all the playgrounds near you. So you can keep a safe eye on your toddlers' next adventure.

Irene.Portmann@digitecgalaxus.chI love the strategy game “The Settlers of Catan”, the Ravensburger puzzle “Colourful Cupcakes” and the pink fluffy unicorn that sits on my desk (a birthday present from my workmates). Not only do I have a weakness for toys, I also get excited about good food and comedy TV shows.
