Playing outdoors is a fundamental multisensory experience for the physical and emotional development of children. These spaces involve the senses, awaken the imagination and invite them to explore and discover. In summer, you can turn the terrace into that recreational area in which your child experiences sensations that you probably do not allow inside the house, such as playing with soap bubbles, water and sand.
With how moviditos children are usually, at the time of decorate the terrace Keep in mind that it must be a safe environment with antichichon materials and resistant to the "threats" of the children. And even if you adequately protect this space, always watch children under 7 years old. We help you to define that magical and personal universe in which to celebrate a party with a toy buffet, as proposed by IKEA at the School of Decoration.
Wooden floor, perfect for children
To adapt the floor of the terrace to children and delimit the play area, opt for a wooden one, like the IKEA runnen lattice. It is non-slip and does not heat up at high temperatures, so children can walk barefoot without slipping or burning their feet. Other advantages of this type of flooring for terraces are that it dampens bumps and falls and provides warmth and comfort to play on it.
The Runnen wooden platform is very easy to assemble and disassemble, it allows you to clean the floor from underneath when you want and when autumn arrives you pick it up and keep it until the following summer. Although if you prefer something softer for your little ones, you can cover the floor with a colorful rug or special blanket for games if the child is very small.

Furniture that can decorate emulating Picasso
Children love to paint, play with modeling clay and other recreational activities that require a small table. If you choose the light and mini size furniture, they themselves can move it, like the plastic furniture of the Mammut series. They are ideal for decorating the terrace for its bright and cheerful colors and being immune to dangerous ice cream, paints, clay and other substances related to children, because they are easily cleaned.
If you have enough space on the terrace, you can entertain the little ones with the set of chairs and, of course, use them for birthdays and other celebrations. And when the cold comes, you can perfectly take these small furniture from the garden to the bedroom to do school work.
Jumps in the cushions and not in the armchair
You already have the garden furniture, now you have to decorate the terrace with the fun and personal touch that you get with outdoor cushions of original colors and shapes, such as a cloud, a sun or an adorable heart with arms, an IKEA classic from which Children will become fond of instantly.
If you extend a few cushions of different sizes to cushion well, You will see that they can give you a lot of play in the decoration and fun of children. We propose you to play jumping from one to another to stay safe, stack them in a tower as high as possible without collapsing, build a dollhouse, throw them at Mom like a ball or make a cushion war. When the battle ends, they unfold and wash themselves so they look perfect again.
With the cushions on the outside placed on a blanket, towel or carpet and some plastic cups and plates you enable a great area to celebrate a picnic snack with friends. To give it a more festive air, decorate the terrace with garlands give a warm lighting to the terrace.
A place for toys to rest
The toys are already exhausted, they have turned more than a ferris wheel in the hands of children and end up scattered on the floor of the terrace. Now it's time to rest and charge batteries for the next day. So that they sleep comfortably and motivate children to pick up and order, as if it were their bedroom, give the games area storage elements, such as boxes, baskets, bunkers and poufs, with fun colors, resistant materials and different designs.
Or maybe you already had storage boxes to have in order in the room and you just have to move them to the chic summer playground that you have enabled on the terrace and that you can share at the IKEA Decoration School to inspire other parents .
