Thinking of Buying A Kids Tent for your Garden This Summer?

Summer holidays can be loads of fun. But if you are a parent of active children, then you might need to prepare yourself and your home with enough activities to keep them busy. For those homeowners who have a garden or enough outdoor space, a garden tent might just be your next purchase. If you are thinking about buying a kids’ tent for your garden this summer, then here are a few reasons why you should stop thinking and start buying today.

Outdoor Activities

With the amount of screen time that children have lately, it’s difficult to find interesting and fun things that will keep them busy outside. Playing outside is great for fresh air, boosting energy, and improving mental health.

Having a garden tent in your back yard will encourage your children to come up with fun games running around outside. Keep them occupied for hours with some added camping activities too.

Safety

The world can be a scary place. It’s almost as if parents can’t relax when they take their children out to a public place. Without having to drive all the way to a camping ground, you can camp right in the backyard. Not only is this a much cheaper option, but it’s much safer too.

Knowing that your children and their friends are safely playing in the security of your own home brings great peace of mind.

Learning Opportunity

Sure, your children have ample opportunity to learn about wildlife and nature while they are in school. But camping outside will give you a chance to practically apply what they know. You could stay up late and gaze at the stars while trying to identify different star signs or even search around for different bugs and plant species.

Learning about surviving in the wild and how to live a few days without electricity are other great ways to teach your children valuable lessons in life. Doing this out of the comfort of your own backyard is a bonus – especially knowing that the bathroom is close by.

It’s Interesting, Different, and Fun

2020 has thrown us all with loads of pressure and stress. With travel bans being implemented and many resorts closing their doors, we are forced to stay at home. If you have a big family, you’ll understand the importance of keeping everyone entertained. Frustrations are running high since the outbreak of COVID-19 and social distancing.

Luckily, camping outside during summer can be loads of fun. It’s different from sitting inside the house, watching television, and not having enough space for other activities. Furthermore, it takes the chaos outside. Your home can remain a clean sanctuary while you allow your children to run amok outside.

Camping in the back garden is a fun, different, and interesting activity. It will definitely take away the blues of not being able to go somewhere over the summer holiday.

Family Bonding

Our lives can become so busy. In many modern households, family members live at such a busy and fast pace that they don’t get enough quality time with each other. Being outside without any television, computer, internet, or mobile games are a great way to reconnect as a family.

Take camping in garden tents to the next level by making a bonfire and roasting marshmallows over it. You can share some interesting stories around the bonfire and encourage your children to open up about things that have happened to them during the year. 

Don’t go in the house to sleep inside. Why not make a whole adventure of it. Drag mattresses into the garden tents and have a sleep over. Switch off all the lights and exchange scary stories under a flashlight. This will result in the family curling up closer to each other and creating a special bond.

Just because you can’t go anywhere over the summer holidays, doesn’t mean you can’t bring the fun to your house. Whether you want to purchase one big garden tent for everyone or small one-person tents for each, camping outside during the summer holidays is a great activity.
