How To Customise A Playhouse For Your Child

Now the summer months are approaching, it’s time for the garden to be used more often. While as an adult you’re content to just relax in a chair and enjoy the sun, children often require a bit more entertainment. A playhouse is a great way to give your child a place to have fun, giving them a space that is truly theirs for them to let their imagination run wild.

A playhouse is even better if you invest a bit of time to create an exciting experience, so here is how to customise a playhouse for your child.

Use Shed Paint To Create Themes

One great way to customise a playhouse is to use shed paint to create a theme. Choosing something a child really enjoys will make them want to spend more time there. Ask them what they’d like, or think hard about your child’s current interests. This could be a space theme for a child obsessed with anything extraterrestrial, filling the inside of the playhouse with anything that evokes space. Use black paint as a base then paint planets, aliens, stars and spaceships to bring the inside to life.

Another idea is a fairy tale theme. A coat of pink or blue shed paint can instantly transform a wooden playhouse into a grand castle, perfect for a child to use their imagination and insert themselves into their own fairy tale adventures. You could use a brick effect with the paint to complete the illusion of it being a castle.

Extras

Expanding from a playhouse can create an outside space with plenty of things to do. You might install a swing from a nearby tree, so a child can instantly go from their playhouse to another fun activity. If you have a 2 storey playhouse, install a slide for another fun method to make the most of the playhouse.

Plant flowers, vegetables or herbs in some nearby plant beds for a learning experience where you and your child can work together to grow some exciting produce. This is fun for them and actually helps with their development at the same time.
