In my garden, I’ve focused on more integrated play. We have the slide in the hill, swings on the tree, etc. I like to work for easy ways to incorporate areas that don’t take a lot of money or time, and allow for a lot of create play.

My neighbor cut down a tree awhile ago, and I went and brought over some of the old trunk. Right now they are laid out as steps, but it might change later to something else. The kids have had lots of fun playing on them, and even get mom involved. It was simple, free and fun!
