subject: How To Make The Garden A Play Haven For Your Children [print this page] This summer sees the launch of a nationwide campaign that encourages parents to Make Time To Play, which promotes play time as a vital stage in the development of your child. Outdoor play is an important type of play because it encourages children to explore nature, to step away from the computer and T.V. and get some physical exercise and fresh air. Here, leading online retailer of garden furniture Rawgarden (http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/) gives parents some tips on how to make their garden a play haven for children.
It doesnt matter whether youve got a sprawling garden or a bijoux terrace, your outdoor space can be turned into an ideal play area for your children with a little imagination and planning and some basic pieces of garden furniture. The first thing to consider, especially in the summer months, is the adequate provision of shade. You want your children to spend as much time outside in their garden play haven as possible, but they have to have protection from the suns harmful rays. Shade sails are great for providing shade over a large outdoor area, whereas garden parasols are a compact way of creating shade over a smaller area of the garden or terrace. Babies can explore a playmat on the lawn while shaded by one garden parasol while older children can paint and draw on a picnic tableon the terrace shaded by another parasol.
This brings us on to picnic benches and tables an important component of an outdoor play haven. Thats because they provide an area for activities such as painting, drawing, collage and board games. Theyre also handy for serving refreshments and lunch to your happy outdoor revellers. Choose from regular sized picnic tables which can seat your whole brood and all their friends or go for a Kids Mini Picnic Table in mini proportions. Why not position a simple wooden benchin an area of the garden that allows your children to watch nature at work? You could put a bird table nearby or place the bench near a flower bed that gets regular visits from birds, bees, butterflies and caterpillars.
