AnonyMouse_26526 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi everyone I am looking to develop my outdoor space now, at the moment it a blank canvas. I have a sand pit and a tuff spot and thats about it. I do have some containers that we will be planting up when the time is right to do so. The outdoor space the children use is a wooden decking area that leads out from the back door. ( We live next door to a large playing field which we also use.) Anybody have any fanatastic ideas and as a childminder my budget is pretty low. Tink69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 We have found the things which cost nothing are the most loved and used ! Milk crates , tyres, planks of wood and big pieces of fabric, bubbles, old frying pans and saucepans tied to the fence to bang with a wooden spoon, magnifying glasses and binoculars, playground chalks . Our v expensive playhouse is often overlooked in favour of a tent made out of old duvet covers and clothes pegs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 OOh and our absolute favourite is magic paint - a sand bucket with water and a bit of glitter and a big B and Q paintbrush to paint anything and everything !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jane707 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 My best investment is a covered canopy for the patio. It means the children can go outside in all weathers. It wasn't cheap but it has definitely been worth every penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
