Julia, from Crawley, west Sussex, and her son redecorated his toy shed and turned it into a beach hut! Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
My youngest son wanted to decorate his toy shed in the garden and turn it into a beach hut to relax and keep his toys etc.. in.
We used paint we had in the garage and decorated with ‘nautical themed props’ we already had or family/friends kindly gave us! My son loved using the paint and rollers and creating his own little space himself.
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…
Julia, I’ve had 3 children myself. 2 boys and a girl.
I also have 4 step children. Our children range from ages 9-19!
I’m from Crawley in west Sussex, UK
How are you finding being housebound so far?
I’ve still been working as well, so it’s been a juggling act at times but tried not to get too worked up or stressed about things.
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Dont sweat it! Keep it simple and follow interests. Learn new skills, try something you have always wanted to do! We have the time just now.
Has being part of our community helped you?
Nice to see different ideas and see what other people are up to in this strange time for us all!
