Encourage unique ways of painting like finger-painting, hand-painting or face print. Be supportive of all the mad ideas that pop in your little angel’s brain and have a blast.

You can also designate a whole area of your backyard to your kid as their own vegetable patch. This is a great way that children can spend time outdoors, with their parents and also learn the valuable lesson of gardening and growing their own food.

Camping

If your schedule does not allow you frequent vacations, a camping trip is a great way to spend time. And when you are too tired or tied up with work, you can create a great camping experience for your little one, right there in your backyard. You do not have to use tents, you can just build tents out of bed sheets, by tying them around trees. Remember to have air mattresses and sleeping bags for everyone. Pick a clear night to spend some awesome time with your kid under the starry skies.

Swings

There is perhaps no love greater than a swing for a child. If your backyard is spacious enough for a swing, why not surprise your kid with one. Choose an appropriate area where the ground is not too stony and clear the area of unwanted bushes to make sure your child is safe. For a swing you will need a 2.5-meter clearance both front and back, so select wisely.

When you pick the right spot, you can install a swing by choosing a style. You can opt for a tire swing or a comfortable chair swing. To build this you need an old chair, cut off its legs and paint it bright to make it attractive. Install the swings with sturdy ropes. Make sure you test the safety before you let your kids on it.

Clubhouse or a treehouse
