Kid’s Rooms: Kid’s Outdoor Furniture

Cool mornings, but warm afternoons with a bright sun shiny day and flowers beginning to bloom here and there leads us to believe that spring is in the air. The days become longer and after the long winter, and tired of being cooped up, we begin planning more activities outside with our children. We always have patio furniture for adults and pool furniture around the pool. Have you thought about outdoor furniture for children?

Outdoor Pool Furniture

Outdoor tables and chairs for kids are a great addition to a backyard. They provide an area for children to do outside arts and crafts that you might not want to attempt inside. Or, after playing hard, they can have a snack or lunch outside. Most of the kids table sets come with umbrellas that protect against the sun’s UV rays. Kidkraft’s newest Outdoor Table & Bench Seat with Cushions with Navy Stripes and Matching Canopy

Table & Bench Seat with Blue Strip Cushions and Umbrella

is perfect for the summer months and will look great on any patio. It comes with plenty of convenient storage below each bench. The tall umbrella helps shield children from UV lights. This children’s outdoor furniture set is made of weather-resistant wood. It makes a great gift idea for families with multiple children.

Teamson Kids has a custom hand painted round table, Sunny Safari Table and 2 Stool Set with Matching Umbrella, with safari animals painted on it that will delight children.

This kids outdoor table and stool set has been treated to be used outdoors as well as indoors. The waterproof umbrella protects against the sun’s UV rays. Children will love sitting at this table to have their favorite snack, color, share hot dogs around the pool with their friends. Another piece of outdoor furniture for children that belongs to the Sunny Safari Collection is the Garden Bench with safari animals hand carved on the back rest.

The Sunny Safari Bench is perfect for any child to read their favorite book, enjoy their handheld toys or just sit back and relax in the comfort of their very own bench. The best part is that the unique finish on this collection allows the bench to be used outdoors.  This bench is two feet long allowing room for two children to sit together while sharing a book. If you decide to prop up your feet while sitting on the bench, we have a Sunny Safari Zebra Stoolavailable.

This is a round stool with three legs that is hand carved with an animal face hand painted on top. It is designed for use outdoors.

Around the pool side, we usually find lounge chairs for lying in the sun or just to relax after swimming. Kidkraft has designed pool side furniture for children.

Outdoor Chaise Lounge

The Outdoor Chaise Lounge with a Navy Stripe Cushion and Matching Umbrella allows children to lounge just like Mom on a nice canvas cushion, read a book, or take a short nap after swimming all afternoon. The umbrella will keep the UV rays off for protection. This furniture is built out of Samnu wood, which is a weather loving wood from the Figi Islands. The Outdoor Sling Chair matches the Chaise to make a set of Outdoor Furniture for Kids.

Outdoor Sling Chair

The sling is made from the same canvas as the cushions for a sturdy framework for children to sit on while resting from playing in the backyard or swimming. Together they make an awesome set to place around the pool or on a patio.

We plan and provide outdoor furniture for ourselves on our patios and around our pools. Let’s plan and provide patio and outdoor furniture for our children. They will immediately recognize the kids outdoor furniture that has been designed for them. Their eyes will light up, smiles will brighten up their faces, and they will use it. Just like Mommy and Daddy. Then whose eyes will light up as you watch your children!

Who says kids can't have their own chaise lounge?

Many times the chair might become a catch all for our clothes, as we remove them; but, it is, also, a place to rest upon while putting on socks and shoes. Some people have desks in their rooms that include a desk chair that is shaped totally different.

Kid’s Rooms: A Firefighter Theme

Minden St. Jude Fire Company No. 1

This past weekend I had the chance to experience first hand behind the scenes of a charitable telethon. I totally admire all the work and volunteers that it takes to succeed in this endeavor. Minden, Louisiana has sponsored the St Jude’s Children’s Auction on Super Bowl Weekend for the past 36 years. I am told they raise more money than any other town in the United States in those four days for St Jude Children’s Hospital. Last year they raised over $850,000 and this year their goal is to top $1,000,000.

St. Jude Firehouse Double Door

 

Back during the summer, I was approached about furnishing children’s furniture for an ‘Olde Fire House Playhouse’ that was being built by the Minden Fire Department to be auctioned off during the St Jude Auction. The playhouse is electric on the inside, with a safety plug on the outside, allowing the homeowner to plug it in on their property. This awesome child size fire station comes completely wrapped in beautiful barn red with white vinyl siding with grey accents, including shutters on the 3 operating windows. The double front door allows a child-size vehicle to be driven inside with a side door for entering in and out. There are 2 outside lights with a pewter finish, vinyl wood flooring, and finished walls on the inside. A black metal ladder inside leads to the upper floor, where a stainless steel fire pole allows children to slide down the pole to the lower floor, landing on real fire hose wrapped around the bottom of the fire pole for a cushioned landing. Local artist, Vicki James, painted the inside with beautiful fire department themed paintings including an American Flag, Firemen bunker gear (jackets, pants, boots), children playing with nozzles, a

Dalmatian dog, fire hydrants and nozzles, and much more. No firehouse is complete without a beautiful brass fire bell with lanyard for the children to ring. On the outside of the house, children will find a specially made real fire hose and nozzle to use to play firefighter!

 

Kidkraft's Fire Truck Toddler Bed & Fire Hydrant Table

To keep with the firehouse theme, I furnished the playhouse with durable, quality pieces from Kidkraft and Levels of Discovery. Kidkraft graciously donated the Fire Truck Toddler Bed, Firehouse Bookcase, and Fire Hydrant Toddler Table made of wood and sturdy construction. The toddler bed uses a crib mattress that is covered with a custom embroidered sheet. The side table has a drawer for storing important items and a shelf underneath. Levels of Discovery donated the Firefighter Rocker featuring cutout detail around a fire truck on the seat back and fire hydrant finials and ladder design arms. Babyiture furnished the Firefighter Table and Stools and the Firefighter Toy Chest and Bench Seat to help accessorize the playhouse. The Firefighter Table and 2 Stools

Levels of Discovery Firefighter Table and Stools

Levels of Discovery Firefighter Toy Chest with Bench Seat Seating

features a Firehouse storage box with working bell sitting in the middle of the table. The Firefighter Toy Chest with Bench Seat has a unique design with hydrant finials, a working bell and ladder design arms and a large sliding door opens for fire trucks and other vehicles to drive right up the ramp and into the fire station. All the furniture in this 10’ x 13’ playhouse creates a theme room that will keep children in awe for months. This playhouse is so unbelievable that your child may decide to move out of the house before he turns 18!

During Super Bowl Weekend this playhouse is being auctioned off at $10 per ticket. You can purchase your ticket at www.mindenstjude.com. The money goes to a great cause that has helped children from all over the country fight cancer. St Jude Children’s Research Hospital operates from donations from you and me.
