Warm afternoons, long evenings, and kids full of energy make summer the perfect time to bring nature into play. But how do you create a space that is safe, aesthetic, and at the same time so engaging that children stay creative and active—without reaching for a screen? The good news is: it’s absolutely doable. And with a bit of imagination, such a play area can be created both in the garden and indoors. Here are some ideas for screen-free get-togethers in the garden and in the children’s room.

The Garden as a Place of Discovery

Even a small patch of lawn or a terrace is enough to create a cozy and inspiring zone for children. A teepee quickly becomes the center of attention. It can be a retreat, a reading nook, a stage, or a playhouse. Add some colorful garlands and soft poufs, and you’ll have a space full of charm that invites children to stay and play. For movement and shared laughter, try wooden bowling pins or boules games. These natural play ideas promote focus, coordination, and team spirit—without noise or screens.

When Playtime Moves Indoors

An inviting play corner can also be created indoors. Teepees and poufs are perfect for a child’s room. They require little space and are incredibly popular with kids, as they give them a sense of having their own personal area. Garlands instantly bring a cheerful atmosphere and can be hung over the bed or on the wall. Even a rainy day can turn into a little adventure this way.

Ready for a Sleepover

When the get-together is especially fun and a little guest decides to stay overnight, a practical solution pays off. A children’s bed with a pull-out bed is ideal for such moments. No inflating, no converting. Just pull out the drawer, place a mattress in it, and voilà—two cozy sleeping spots. That’s how an ordinary day becomes an unforgettable experience.

A Space That Lasts

In summer, it doesn’t take much to offer children an inspiring environment. With a few lovingly selected elements and an openness to their ideas, a space is created that invites them to play, laugh, and explore. If the whole setup is also thoughtful, functional, and beautiful—then that’s exactly what TreeTale stands for.
