Come and take a look around our new garden play space. We've used a lot of Montessori principles to ensure the space allows for open-ended play, creativity and promotes imaginative play for both our 20m old triplets and our 4.5yr old.

@@TheHiddenGem I worked at Princeton Montessori School in Princeton, New Jersey USA in the 90’s who also have an infant toddler-Elementary program and Princeton Center for Teacher Education where I taught art for one class for teachers. A very visionary school. Check it out if you have time with managing your lovely family. Diane

Your vision is simply brilliant. That space can be used in so many ways. Any child would be incredibly happy to play in this backyard. I also love the fact that you use budget things and construction leftovers. Mom's brain + daddy's hands + lots of love = smth really beautiful and engaging!

Such a great space with amazing details! Love the cubby house and transparent roof is genius! Would your husband consider sharing his plans for building it? 😊

@TheHiddenGem 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Yes the roof definitely makes the cubby more inviting as it’s not got that dark spider-web feel you can get

So perfect and not a huge amount of space, you really are very clever. Every home should have this! My kids are a bit older but I’ve still taken some great ideas from this - I know the bucket with the pulley would be a huge hit.

@phuongphan-mcmanamna3781 2 жыл бұрын

Great play area. Yes, expansion is a good idea. Kinda small for 4 kids, esp. when they get older. You should consider a gravel area/pit in the expanded area for a different place surface than the mulch. Also, maybe a water wall. You can also paint the fence under the playhouse with chalkboard paint. Your boys are so lucky to have such a fun play space year round. Can you do a separate video on Tuff tray ideas as I play to get one soon for my kids? It’s very hard to get and expensive in the US but I think it’s worth it. I plan to get the stand for it too.

@murielrigout1373 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Gemma, just a quick question: I recall in a previous garden you showed you designated a small area in a flower bed that Oscar could dig into. Is there a reason why you haven't got a digging (besides in the 10cm of woodchip) in this garden? And do you think Oscar will miss it / the triplets will miss out? Btw, you're inspiring me to adapt my garden to make it more of a play space, so thank you!

@TheHiddenGem 2 жыл бұрын

All their digging needs are satisfied by the wood chips 😊
