Ideas for child-friendly garden

I can really enjoy it, with a cup of coffee in a chair watching the children having fun outside. In fact, we have never done anything other than approach the ideas for the garden in such a way that the children enjoy playing in a child-friendly garden. And you don't really need that much. With a swing, a sandbox, grass and possibly a wooden play tower you can come a long way. Check out the cool child-friendly garden ideas below.

The children's swing is indispensable in the child-friendly garden

And luckily, the swing comes in all kinds of variants. For example, you have the children's swing below as you undoubtedly know it, but you can also opt for a cool net swing. You used to see this more often in outdoor playgrounds, but nowadays you see it more and more in the backyard. Super fun right?!

If you still have small children, a swing is also fantastic, but keep in mind that you first choose a model that such a little one cannot fall out of. Something like below. When your kids grow up, you just need to change the swing and keep the rest of the ideas for your kid-friendly garden the same.

Hint: When choosing a swing for smaller children, really choose a swing where they sit with their legs separated by a partition as you can see above. Otherwise they will slide right through the bars. And in any case, always stay with it!

The inspiration below is great for your children to chill in the garden, child-friendly and relatively simple ideas. An ordinary car tire as a swing, for example, also wants to catch on well. Just on one rope, or on its side so you can sit more in it.
