Something to buy for grandparents’ backyard

[Anonymous]

We are sheltering in place at my parents’ house. They have a backyard. It would be great to put something back there for my 3 year old to play on — something that would wear her out! It can’t be a full jungle gym/play set both because of cost and because my parents aren’t going to want to attach something permanently to their lawn. It needs to be more temporary than that. At first I was thinking one of those little plastic slides but she’s really too old for that. She won’t get much use from it, I don’t think. Any other ideas? We could do a little pool if we’re here over the summer. Anything for now? My mom babysits in the morning while I work and it would be nice if they could just hang out in the back yard. Mom can’t keep up with her while she’s on a scooter or bike, for example. But my mom could sit and watch while she does something in the backyard if I buy something fun.

Sand box?

Definitely bounce house. Plus you can bring it home with you. Some other hits for my kids are the kiddie pool. When it’s hot we do a “jello dig” and let her find the toys we hid in the jello.

This is OP. You put the bounce house outside? And then deflate it and take it inside, and then put it back out and inflate it again when you want to use it next? How much set up and break down is that each time?

We got a big new tarp to put it on and make sure it's not wet / muddy outside. Set up / take down is about 10-15 minutes.

Mini trampoline - can be inside on rainy days.

Metal swing set - they make stakes you can secure it.

One of those dome things ... can do so much with them. Climb, turn it into a fort, etc.

My huge bounce house takes about 15 seconds to inflate. You can use a tarp under if you’d like. Then when it deflates I just roll it and stuff it in the bag. It’s easier to use inside I’m sure. We just push ours to the side of the basement and don’t put it back in it’s carry bag. The bounce house goes into a medium sized duffel and the air machine is like the small keurig size

WTH? Was this written by someone who doesn’t have young kids? Or who isn’t working right now?

No one wants a bounce house in their back yard.
