Creative Ways To Use/transform A Tree Stump For Kids?
 |
I just bought a house with a really neat backyard designed with kids in mind which is good because I have 3 children (ages 3, 5, and 7) and I also run a home daycare. There is a large playhouse that someone built (complete with glass pane widows, house doors, and shingle roof), a hidden treehouse, a miniature waterfall, a small pond, and a “secret garden”. There happens to also be this large tree stump that is about 2 1/2 feet high and 2 to 2 1/2 feet in diameter that I would like to do something creative with for the kids, but would also look nice with the backyard landscaping. I thought of transforming it into a table or a chair but would appreciate any other ideas! Thanks

rip a seat out with a tigersaw, chisel smoothish, and make a fairy throne. Or drill the middle out and make a lid from a slice of the stump so the can hide treasures. OR stick 2 twig arms on the side and use expanding foam to “sculpt” a face, paint with craft paint in tree colors so the have a gnome guardian.
You could drill a large hole in the middle and have the kids plant flowers in it and then they could see them when they are growing.
Maybe have the kids make a bird bath out of it and that way they could see the birds.
How a about putting those outside windmills in it somehow by making holes in the side of it and that way the kids could pick their own out and watch them
I would definitely go with turning it into a table. You can get a circular plexiglass top and screw it into tree and then add little plastic outdoor chairs – then you wouldn’t cover up any natural look of the landscaping.
i think you should make it like a bench
