Making your home a kid’s paradise and a happy place to play will develop your children’s mental and physical well-being. Plus, thinking up new ways to stoke their imagination is enjoyable for us grown-ups, too. From fort building to fairy doors, check out these clever ways of making your home a magical place and paradise for kids to grow up in.
Rain nor snow will stop the fun.
01. Swinging And Watching TV At The Same Time.

Much more enjoyable than watching TV on the treadmill.
02. You May Be A Bit Dizzy When You Reach The Bottom Of This Curly Fry Of A Slide.
03. No Yard Space? No Problem.
This family’s home is an excellent example of bringing outdoor recreational activities inside.
04. A Cute Little Cottage Equipped With A Quick Escape Route.
05. The High Walls Of The Pool Help To Prevent Sand Spillage.
Just make sure the kids know to brush off before they jump out — and keep your cat away: To their feline eyes, it will appear to be a very luxurious litter box.
06. Slides! Balls!
The fun to be had in this house is almost overwhelming.
07. Turn A Sprint Up The Stairs Into A Lesson About The Colors Of The Rainbow.
So educational.
08. Forts Don’t Necessarily Have To Be Perched In Trees.
09. But If You Believe The Tree Is A Necessary Ingredient, Bring A Hunk Of One In.
Make sure to thoroughly cleanse your chosen stump of all insects first (unless you’re into that insectarium-style life).
10. You Don’t Even Have To Get Complicated — Plywood Works.

Simple. Effective.
11. The Perfect Way To Escape Some Siblings.
Sayonara, chumps.
12. Relax In An Enormous Hammock.

Just try not to think of the pain ensuing if the netting gives out. Maybe put a ball pit below it?
13. When You Make Your Ball Pit, You Don’t Have To Worry About Strangers’ Germs.
Here’s how.
14. Too Lazy To Put Together A Bunch Of Pipes? Blow Up A Pool.
The slide isn’t necessary, but strongly encouraged.
15. Get Out That Energy, Kids! A Kid’s Paradise
Frolic! Play! Your parents will be over there….folding laundry. Again.
16. Gymnast In Training.
Make sure to lay down a rug for a gentler falling experience. Maybe even a padded mat.
17. Adult In The Front, Kid In The Back.
David Allee / Via nymag.com
A mullet of a room.
18. The Cheapest, Easiest Way To Bring A Piece Of The Playground Indoors.
19. Of Course, She’s Smiling — She Has A Swing In Her House, For Goodness Sake!
20. A DIY Jungle Gym To Monkey Around On.
21. “How Shall I Climb Into Bed Tonight: The Bars, The Ladder, Or The Rope?”
So many options.
22. Tire Swing Chic.
