We had glorious weather this weekend and we spent pretty much all of it having fun in the warm winter sunshine!
One of the main reasons we are able to spend so much time outside getting some more landscaping done was because the girls were kept so busy with a new feature in our sandpit.
His patient self finished off another little project for our outdoor playspace this weekend and it was made entirely from recycled materials so it cost us next to nothing!
I am actually still in awe of how such a simple piece of equipment kept the toddler twosome busy for an entire weekend!
Want to see what fun they got up to? No electrical devices required here!!
He also added a few boards at the back for bracing (this is apparently very important!)
As the sun began to go down on our weekend there was just enough time to finish up a little more raking and planting…..
Oh my!! I am pinning this gorgeous kitchen and putting it STRAIGHT on our to do list! ๐ Hopefully we can grab some pallets free and this will make a wonderful addition to Miss Daisy’s outdoor play scape! ๐ I am constantly inspired by your wonderful creations Jodie! x
Thanks Bekka…how lovely of you! I do so love the humble pallet…good luck with your hunt!
They just love it dont they, its the simple things that keep them amused for ages…my middle girl, is 10 and her favourite game outside still, is fake food cooking….her and her sister are out there for hours, chopping up anything and everything from the garden in little pots and making it all into the fake ‘food’…..
The kitchen and rock area look fabulous.
They really do love it, Miss Teen still joins in the play cooking, i think it’s such a lovely expression of freedom and creativity for all ages!Love that your 10 yr old still indulges in that play too!
This is brilliant. I am putting that on Mr Provincial’s to do list when we get to our new house and construct the sandpit!
lovely to see you stop by! I think I may be unpopular with many husbands at the moment as i am adding to the wishlists!!
What a wonderful play space!
Thanks Emma…the girls are loving it i must say!
This is brilliant Jode!! Love it, so clever. The girls are going to have hours and hours of fun!! What a great backyard ๐
Thanks Kelly…the backyard has become my saviour with the toddler behaviour that’s going on at the moment ๐
I am going to show hubby this. He’s been at home with the girls all week (and has been meaning to get heaps done in the backyard). Guess how much he’s got done. Zero (all mums laugh out loud right now). I’ll give him this little hint to help him this coming week. *evil cackle*
Had to have a little laugh at this comment Penny!Would love to be there when you give him your hint, hehe. Can’t imagine why he didn’t get anything done? ๐
Very clever!
Isn’t your outdoor area expanding beautifully.
I love how simple your kitchen is to build, very cute & practical, just about anyone should be able to pull it off
Thanks Rez…it’s coming along nicely now although the rain is currently slowing us down!
What a great idea, it looks like so much fun to play with ๐
Thanks Kylie x

Wow, your girls are going to have SOOO much fun with that outdoor kitchen!!
lovely to see you Amanda…they are indeed having so much fun with it and i love that it really didn’t cost us anything either!
