You could do a couple of simple DIY projects, such as hanging up a basketball hoop or creating a small football goal for them to use. However, if you’re looking to create something a bit more unique, then you could also consider something such as a climbing frame. These are far more effective when it comes to getting your kids physically active since they don’t require other players like most sports.
Paint your fences with your kids
For both the protection of your home and a bit of fun for the kids, ask them with painting the entirety of your fence to create a lot of wonderful and weird different artworks. You may need to purchase a variety of different fencing materials, such as the hence itself, to give your kids room to play and get creative on your fences. This is also a great opportunity to give them different paints and crayons that are usually forbidden to be used inside the house. While it can get messy giving them free rain over paints and crayons, it’s a brilliant way to spend a weekend with your kids.
Garden walkways with pallet wood
