CREATING A CHILD-FRIENDLY OUTDOOR SPACE

With the summer holidays in mind, now is a great time to work on making a space outdoors where your kids will love to hang out and play.

An outdoor space for your children can be a great addition to your home, especially during the holidays. With the year-round sunshine and unique challenges of the region, designing a child-friendly outdoor area requires careful thought and consideration.

SAFETY FIRST

When designing a child-friendly outdoor space, safety is always a top priority. Be sure to enclose the area properly with some fencing or barriers to make sure everyone stays safe! It’s also good to think about soft flooring or artificial turf to cushion falls, depending on the age of your little ones. Remember to regularly inspect the area for potential hazards. As many parents know, kids have a knack for finding these items! Look out for things like sharp edges, loose screws, tripping hazards, and any dangerous plants or substances.
