In reply to rebekah. We created a dinosaur garden for our toddler son. It's in a big cedar planter box and has non-toxic, safe plants like thyme and hebe, gravel and a few big stones. He enjoys playing with his dinosaurs in his garden

As soon as we set up a sandpit or sanded area it ends up covered in cat poo or ants nests!!! Just one night where we forget to cover over the sandpit and its got cat poo etc inside so I’m planning to get rid of it now. We live on a compound with heaps of cats and ants. I have tried so hard to get a nice outdoor space going for the kids outside but even mud play ends up being mud/cat poo play which is just gross so not sure what to do. How do you keep cats/ants out of all these sanded areas?

I want my 14 month old daughter to play outside more, but we have a serious black widow problem in our yard/neighborhood (some have even found their way into the house!). Luckily she gets to play with her cousins at my sister’s house a couple times a week and usually has outdoor time there.

I wonder if anyone has advice about making a space in bear and snake country? I have a HUGE, amazing backyard- which is home to many snakes (mostly black), and black bears. Apart from investing in high, strong fencing and a large dog, I’m afraid of my kids getting hurt. And I really can’t afford dog/bear proof fencing right now.

In reply to Jenn. Spiders hate peppermint so you can make a spray of peppermint essential oil and alcohol and spray it around where you have problems with spiders and they will move elsewhere.

In reply to Bethany. We rent an apartment in the city as well, without so much as a hanging plant outside. Plenty of opportunity to play in the park or to get outside. If your playground or park doesn't quite fit the bill, all the more reason to get together with others and improve it!
