Plant a Fairy Garden

Your kids may not care much for gardens, but a playhouse looks so much cuter with some colorful plants and flowers. Even better, plant a fairy garden outside and make the magic of play extend outside the borders of playland!

There are so many ways you can make your shed-turned-playhouse into a fun spot for your kids to play. They will have loads of fun, good memories, and best of all, you get a break. Remember that you should still have room to store some of your stuff. Consider adding a loft or shelf to store some of the stuff that won’t fit in your garage.
