Outdoor Play Area Storage

Guest · 2011-02-10T21:05:47+0000

At present we have a lovely enclosed area beside the door to playgroup surrounded by a fence and the safety matting throughout. It is built on a slight slope and we have decided not to put in bikes or ride-ons as it could be a safety hazard. Since we opened just 3 weeks ago we have noticed the massive amount of play value children have out of what we already have and although want to expand on it feel there is more value in "freebies" and loads of items that cost very little. We have been given a lovely donation of £250 and want to use it on our outdoor play area. We were considering buying the following: http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/store...oors%7C16849255 At present we have a large Little Tikes playframe which consists of slide and connecting tunnel and little house at one end. We also have 2 small picnic tables and have put up 2 laundry baskets with the centre cut out for throwing balls into as well as a small elephant shaped sand tray and round water tray. At present we have the following items: balls in different sizes and colours hopscotch mat bean bags and basket golf balls and golf set rope length bowling set with ball hoops in different sizes and colours small hand held chalk boards with pavement chalks and ordinary chalks We feel that this storage would suit what we already have but would love others opinion! We are thinking once March comes and we move onto the Spring theme/topic of giving each child a small oblong trough to fill with compost and plant some violas, sweetpea and nasturtium - the last 2 grown from seed while the violas will be bought as plants. These can be attached to the windows along one side of the area to add a bit of colour to the whole area and give interest to the children in terms of planting and watering. We will put the compost into the sand tray and add tractors and diggers. In addition to this we are also planning: to put up some saucepans along our fence and give them access to wooden spoons to have paint rollers and trays to paint the fence (with water!) to put up some plyboard to be used as an easel add wheelbarrows, prams and dolls for children to move around the area have a tuff pot/builders tray for small world play which can be either set on the picnic table or set on the floor We have also been offered a 7x5 wooden playhouse which we are not sure how to utilise yet! Could anyone advise us whether what we are thinking of in terms of storage would be suitable and if there are any more suggestions we could use our money on! We particularly would love to liven up the fence area - perhaps large numbers or posters of some sort??
