Small Backyard Ideas

Your backyard may seem tiny to you but, to your adventurous tyke, it’s filled with possibility! Sure, it may not fit a playset, but we have the perfect, kid-sized outdoor furniture (AKA space savers!) to make your backyard a place for your kiddo to hang out and play in the summer.

Just because you’re limited on space doesn’t mean you have to compromise on creating an outdoor destination for your curious child. See below for a moodboard of some of our favorite pieces for a small backyard or balcony.

We love how sand and water tables bring back the nostalgia of sitting in a sandbox as a child but leaves the messy clothes and sand-filled shoes a thing of the past. Our sand and water table brings the beach and the surf to your own backyard. A sandbox and a water table in one, it makes catching a wave oh-so simple. And with sturdy metal construction, not to mention a solid wood cover, this outdoor favorite can hold up to 50 lbs. of play sand. (No sandcastle building permit needed.) Place an outdoor rug under it for a pop of color and you’ve already created an outdoor imagination station!

Now that we covered a thing of play, let’s talk relaxing, lounging, and putting one’s feet up. We’re talking about our Cape Kids Outdoor Furniture, of course. From a picnic table and Adirondack lounge chair to a table and chair (or bench!), we’ve got your kiddo’s outdoor meals, coloring sessions and summer reading minutes covered. Add some plants and tall planters for additional greenery and you have a lush escape from the indoors.
