The rock climbing wall
If you want to go for something really cool, then create a rock climbing wall. Your kids will be popular in the neighborhood as all neighborhood kids will be excited to try it out. Your kids can have their friends over and climb this wall of fame with them.
If your children are on the older side, then this activity is definitely for them. Creating artwork on the wall and installing climbers in itself is fun. In the end, it is all about getting a bit of physical activity in while keeping it light and fun.
A mini fort for secret meetings
Build a place for your kids to conduct their secret neighborhood meetings. This mini fort will delight your kids greatly. You can place their toys in this place and even decorate it with curtains. The curtains will help them to keep those meetings a secret, while toys will amuse them.
This fort can also easily replace the idea of having a treehouse. It is easier to build than a treehouse. This fort is also safer as you don’t have to climb up, but it is equally fun due to the decorations and kids’ furnishings.
A small DIY teeter-totter with tires
If you have toddlers, they are going to love this. The idea is to create a teeter-totter with old tires and scrap wood. This DIY idea is all about recycling and reusing waste materials and turning them into something that is dearly loved.
Get that old tire, cut it in half, and keep it aside. Now, it’s time to create seating and handles. Pick your painting supplies and paint that scrap wood. Let it dry and bolt it all together. This way you get something eco-friendly as well as fun. You can also use the other half of the tire to create another one and give it to someone close.
A mini shed for shelter from the sun
After playing in the sun for multiple hours, kids might need a refuge, and what better than a mini shed? Some DIY ideas are easy to install because a fair share of work has already been done, and this is one of those.
All you need for this mini shed is to get a wooden teepee and place it where it suits you in your backyard. You can decorate it with artificial flowers, beautiful spreads, and pillows. Your kids are going to love having their afternoon tea parties under this mini shed.
The tree fort for your kids to rule
Tree forts don’t have to be at a considerable height they can be low enough to not hurt you if you fall. A tree fort that has stairs touching the ground is enough to put your mind as a parent at ease.
This doesn’t mean that this fort will be any less fun. You can still look into the distance and add various accessories like a telescope or a water balloon machine. You can also decorate your tree fort with fairy lights, blankets, and cute plants.
