Owning a house is most people’s dream! Having a fantastic and spacious kitchen, a big living room, and outdoor space to bring people over, having family time, and for the kids to play and enjoy time with their friends.
Some people might say they don’t have enough space to organize activities for their kids or do anything else outdoors and create a mess inside the house to provide moments of fun for their little ones.
In this article, we will talk about organization tips, small backyards, how to create an amazing outdoor space for kids, and how to keep them entertained by creating a flow of activities outdoors. Let’s go!
Organization and optimization of your space
Before bringing any activities outdoors, you should consider some things:
- Kids tend to have A LOT of toys, and sometimes these can overcrowd the backyard, making it seem like we don’t have enough space. If that is the case, consider making an organization game with your kids and ask them to choose their favorite toys: the rest of them can be donated.
It is a great act, and you clean a lot of space.
- Outdoor storage is essential! You are bringing the party outdoors, which means that shoes and socks get dirty, toys get all over the place, and you don’t want to bring this mess indoors. Having cubbies or other organizational storage outdoors will save you a lot of headaches (and stains on the floor.)

Incorporate storage on something your kids would like
Is your kid a fan of houses? No? maybe you could open a little restaurant for them? If so, incorporate some organizational skills into it! You can have storage inside the play area and use it for different solutions.

Small Backyards
If you have a small backyard, don’t be frightened, we are here to help!
Small backyards take even more organizational skills, but with the right plan, anything can happen.
Walls:
When we cannot go horizontally, we go vertical. The walls are a fabulous solution! You can place different activities there, such as a blackboard, so they can draw a basketball hoop to keep active, and of course, a small rock-climbing wall if you are interested.

Smart solutions include floor activities that take space only when used; otherwise, it will be like they are not even there.

Suspended from the ground, the hanging den is a seat that embraces children with a soft and welcoming embrace; with this type of hammock, the little ones can curl up and enjoy a moment of quiet relaxation by dozing off or leafing through a book, lulled as if in a slow swing.

A kid trampoline
Trampolines are a decidedly sparkling and fun element to insert to decorate a children’s garden.
In this case, since these are trampolines for children, it is essential to choose systems equipped with side protective nets, which guarantee the right degree of safety during play.
My advice is to choose a trampoline as big as possible, both because children grow up quickly and therefore may need a more spacious structure, but also to allow them to play with friends.
This choice will depend on the size of your green space, so that the trampoline can fit into your garden with coherence and harmony.
