Summer is fast approaching and we all want to encourage our children to get outside more and take in the fresh air. However, as a parent, you probably already know that this can actually be quite a challenge! A fantastic way to encourage your kids to play more outside is to create the perfect playhouse for them where they can spend time and be entertained for hours on end. Here, we are taking you through our top tips on how you can create the perfect playhouse.
Get a Steel Building
The first thing that you will need to do when creating the perfect playhouse is found the premises to do so in. Our favorite option that we would recommend is to get a steel building. Steel buildings come in an array of shapes and sizes and are extremely cost-effective – just take a read of Armstrong Steel’s information on locking in your steel price and you’ll see how their process works. They can be delivered straight to your home within short space of time and you can erect it yourself in your garden. Metal buildings are extremely safe and durable, making them perfect to transform into a children’s playhouse! What’s more, your children won’t be in need of a playhouse forever, so once they are a little older, you can then transform your metal building into something else! It could be a new man cave or simply used as storage to free up more space in your home.
Carry Out Any DIY Jobs
Once you have your steel building set up, it is the time to carry out any DIY projects that you may be wanting to do. You can insulate the walls, ceiling, and floor or even connect the steel building to electricity to create the ultimate den space. For a playhouse, you may want to paint it and make it childproof.
Personalise Your Metal Building
Now for the fun part! It is time to personalize your metal building for the children! Base the playhouse around things that they already like and enjoy or even one of their hobbies. For example, if your children are quite young, why not transform the space into a café? Children absolutely love to pretend play and you can purchase lots of wooden toys that let them feel as though they are working in a real café. Why not purchase red and white kitchen toys and create an American diner in your back garden?
Another great idea to transform your steel building into a playhouse is to make it a dedicated creative zone. Make sure that there are always arts and crafts available here for the kids to play with so that they can have hours of fun showing off their creative side.
Finally, why not transform your playhouse into a home movie theatre? Get a large television, some bean bags and make sure you have some snacks on hand to create the ultimate cinema just in your back garden.
