Summer is the perfect time to encourage your children to head out into the garden and play. While some children love playing outside, others often prefer to stay indoors glued to the TV or tablet screen. If your children would rather stay indoors than go outside to play, these tips will help to encourage them to put down the iPad and head out into the garden.
Fill up the paddling pool
Young children love splashing about in the paddling pool on warm sunny days. In fact, many can spend hours in the garden once the paddling pool comes out. Paddling pools are inexpensive and easy to set up making them the ideal addition to gardens of all sizes during summer. Our Benross Rigid Garden Paddling Pool is one of our most popular products during summer and at only £5.99 it is excellent value for money.
Get out the water games
Water guns are simple and inexpensive toys that will provide endless fun for children young and old alike. Water guns are safe to use and children love chasing each other around the garden trying to soak each other. Not only do water guns keep children entertained, but they are also a great way of ensuring children remain cool when the weather gets hots. Our Aqua Quest Water Gun costs only £2.49, it is easy to use and provides hours of fun for children of all ages.
Add a children’s playhouse
A great way to encourage children to play outdoors is to give them their very own area within the garden. Adding a children’s playhouse provides them with an area within your garden that they can make their own. There is an extensive variety of children’s playhouses available ranging in sizes and prices. Our Shire Bunny Garden Playhouse is a sweet building that is perfect for small gardens and costs just £169.99. If you have a large garden our Mercia Poppy Children’s Playhouse, Tower & Activity Set is ideal and will be a firm favourite with your children.
