Your child is looking forward to playing in the new playhouse. The playhouse itself is exciting but what will the child see when looking out the playhouse window? Redesigning your yard to fit your child’s playhouse will make your child’s playtime more fun.

Why not build a garden area to help enhance your child’s discovery growth. Teaching your child about nature and how your child can grow flowers in a garden is healthier than playing games inside the playhouse.

If you are in a city area, it would be safer to have a fence enclosure that does not lead out into the street. A backyard fence protects your child from wandering out into an unsafe area and protects your child from unwanted individuals walking near your home.

Teaching your child to draw or paint their surroundings is a good way to help your child develop artistic skills. Ask your child what colors they would like in their play area.

Adding a musical instrument to your child’s play area will help your child to learn music. Some children will play songs they know by ear and having a special place to go to play their songs will help them to cheerfully relax in their new surroundings.

Setup a schedule for your child to play outdoors and plan to be nearby to watch that all goes well. Pick the child’s furniture carefully. You don’t want to go into the kitchen to do the dishes and come back to find your child has put his head or hands into small spaces like the spokes of a chair and was stuck for several minutes while you were doing indoor chores. It is always best to be near the child outdoors.

Children sometimes eat dirt or flowers so be sure that there are flowers that are safe to digest and the dirt is covered by grass or something of a nature that will not harm the child.

It is wonderful for your child to have a safe place to go and play.

Why not take some time for yourself while watching your child outdoors; read a book or do some creative craft that your child can participate in.
