Any parent will tell you that having play tables in a kid’s room is a must since they are very helpful at keeping them busy for hours. If you’re looking to get an outdoor play table for your kid, check out this DIY project – it’s easy cheap, and your kids will love it. Find a wooden box or crate and measure its surface, then buy some plastic containers that will fit perfectly within the measurements.
Next, fill in the containers with sand or water and place some toys on top; your child will spend hours playing with their new interactive table. And it’s super easy to dismantle and transport when you travel!
Redesign Your Kid’s Cubby House
A cubby house is a magical place for any kid – they can have their own little space to do and create what they want, and it often gives them a sense of privacy that is essential for their development. However, store-bought cubby houses can be pretty standard and traditional; they’re beautiful but lack that personal touch that you can easily give them with some DIY fine-tuning.
You can turn a cubby house into much more than a simple house. With some paint and imagination, you can make your kid’s cubby house into a stable, a barn, a kitchen, a greenhouse, a fire station, or basically anything you want.
Make Your Own Baby Gym
This DIY project is easy and fun and will make your baby very happy. Head over to a baby store and choose some simple wooden toys like rings, cubes, and strings of large beads (large enough that they won’t be able to eat by accident, of course!). Then, visit a home improvement store and get a standard-sized rack.
Attack the wooden rings and cubes to the string of beads and screw these to the rack you bought. You can then place your baby on a mat on the floor and their makeshift gym on top. They’ll be entertained for hours, grabbing all the different objects and exercising their muscles when they try to pull them off.
Make a Fabric Pennant Banner
Pennant banners are an amazing way to add flare to any party or event, but who says these wonderful accessories can only be used on occasion? You can make a DIY fabric pennant banner to decorate your kids’ room and make it look more festive.
You can create a colorful and whimsical fabric pennant banner to hang across the walls by cutting triangle shapes from different patterned fabrics, and then sew or glue them onto a ribbon or twine and hang the banner to add a playful touch to the room. Your kids will feel like there’s a celebration in their room every day!
Paint a Chalkboard Wall
Chalkboards are a great learning tool for kids, and they can also be a fun accessory to add to their room. You can turn a section of the wall into a chalkboard surface where kids can let their creativity run wild. It’s as easy as going to an arts and crafts store and buying chalkboard paint to create a designated area for drawing, writing messages, or playing games.
Your kids will be entertained for hours! And, of course, there’s the huge added value of not having to repaint your walls because your kids suddenly decided the house looked like a blank canvas.
