Any suggestions on doing a child friendly garden. I want ti do
something a bit more imaginative than paving slabs, but still have a
tight budget.



Definitely leave some paving slabs or hard surfacing for them to use their
ride-ons. Young kids get very frustrated trying to pedal on a lawn.


We didn't. I learnt the basic rudiments of skid control falling off my
bike on a succession of lawns, much to the anger of parents.

Falling onto grass will put grass stains and bruises on you: On hard
paving a broken bone and sever abrasions is likley.


We
used bark under the swings and things but it does tend to get dug up and
spread everywhere it shouldn't. Its also very messy when it gets wet.



Any child that falls off a swing should be put down. How CAN you fall
off a swing?
