Every kid needs to have a tree house to play in. It can be simple like the one in this picture you can go crazy and build a small mansion. Over the years a tree house will be a place to have tea parties, play at war, and as your kids reach their teens a place to hide away and read a book. When working on the design for your kid's tree house, be sure to include them in the putting together what they would like to have and what you can afford to build.

If you are a Survivor® fan, you can't help but to have seen the slingshot challenge that appears in several seasons. Go for distance, set up targets, have competitions, the only limit is how far your kids can fire their loads, after all, you don't really want them lobbing “bombs” over the fence at the “enemy” do you?

Whoever said playing pool was something you have to do inside? Obviously, they had never seen an outdoor pool table. As you can see in this photo, it doesn't have to be anything fancy. This one is made from 2x4s and a large piece of green outdoor carpeting. You can buy ready to use sets of soccer ball sized pool balls or you can make your own with white soccer balls and a bunch of spray paint. Your kids will love this, and it will hone their soccer skills in time for the next season.

How To Level Ground

Most kids learn to play checkers at a pretty young age. It is often one of the first “board games” they learn to play. But why should they be stuck inside on a sunny day when you can use simple square cement paver to create one set of squares and then leave the grass for the other set. Of course, you can buy enough colored pavers to create the whole board. You can make your own checkers, or buy them along with chess piece.

Kids of all ages can have a blast with their own backyard bowling alley. Unlike an indoor alley with perfectly smooth lane, yours can be a bit more rustic and durable. Remember this is just for fun. There are a number of different designs available and you can often buy used pins from real bowling alleys that have outlived their usefulness for a reasonable price. You can even add lighting, so everyone can still have fun after the sun has set.

Community Playground

What little one doesn't like playing in a sandbox? From making sandcastle to playing with Tonka® toys, this is sure to keep younger kids actively engaged out in the fresh air. Depending on your local rules and regulations, your sandbox can be as simple as a box made from 2x6s and a few bags of sand. It can also be complex and fun to build with benches that fold flat to make a lid that keeps the local critters out.

When your kids get to the age where they want to be outside playing, that expanse of lawn you put in when you remodeled the yard might not have much to offer. Of course, there are plenty of ready to assemble playsets but they tend to be a bit expensive. Why not try being a bit more creative and go all out. No matter what you decide, your hard work is sure to put a smile on your kids' faces. I did a lot of looking around all over the place to see what I could find before I made my final choices.
