What have you got?

Ours is very basic Caitlin has loads of balls in a paddle pool, table & chairs, a slide cube thing from tikes and electric ride-on thing.

Must admit I bought the ride-on and tikes slide second hand - it was only going in the garden but this year now Caitlin is older I'm after ideas.

 

 

We have a playhouse and a table and chairs. We're going to get more once the weather picks up and (if) she (ever) gets on her feet.

I think a small slide as she loves to play on the one they have at nursery. We are putting the kitchen in the playhouse once it's dry and warm and we've a sand pit in the corner which was once a corner thingy for bedding plants. we put those squashy safety tiles down and fenced it all off last year so the dogs cant get in and cock their legs on anything so it's going to be lovely to get it all in use this year

I only have a small balcony but i am going to buy one of them little shell shaped sand pits where you can use the lid as a little paddling pool. I also have a small ball pit. OH's parents said we can have a slide etc in there garden, they only live 5 doors away so we spend alot of time there xx

 

That sounds fab mervsmum - A bonus of owning your own place

When you say squashy tiles I think I know what you mean but where did you get them from? Our garden (if we're here) is all paving grrrr the front gardens are grassed but its not secure and hasn't been sorted for 2 years now which Im a bit peeved about.

 

We've got a picnic bench, slides, swings, a rocker that 2 lo's can go on and a wooden treehouse but actually it was bought for the older ones and there's no way I'd let the lo's climb it so may cut it down this spring so they can use it

It's very open here so I want the next house to have somewhere more closed in (and inlaw free ) so I'm thinking for next Xmas to buy some more outdoor things

Also want to know about the squishy tiles MM

 

I've looked it up and its given me a pretty cool idea.

I so wish i had a garden, even a yard would do! By balcony is lovely for a summer days drink but not much use for kids xx

 

We have bog all in our garden so far!! Although i have been looking round for ideas this week, so will keep an eye on this thread. We have quite a large garden, so anything goes really. I was jst saying today that I can't wait for summer. When we can just open the patio doors and he can play away - either in or out.

 

These are the tiles we have. We made lots of enquiries and the colour ones need taking up in wet/cold/bad weather - they're not very tough. We wanted something that could stay down all year round. They jig saw together and with the holes you can rinse them down and it drains and drys properly.



Our garden is on 4 different levels so we just fenced off the bottom bit next to the back door as a little playground so they cant get up the stairs but there's enough room to mess about.

Looks great Lisa.

How much were they do you remember? I seen some on that site that were for all year and some not as you say x

 

We got them off ebay and you can buy as many or as few as you like

I cant find the seller but if you search for 'EVA tiles' or 'Awning tiles' or 'outdoor soft tiles' various ones come up.

 

Lisa that looks fantastic
