Advantages: use less space, can be put away so won't be stolen

Disadvantages: often not as strong as other toys

Having a small garden means it is easily filled. If you want a variety of toys for your children you need to be selective about it.

Plastic and wooden playhouses are every child's dream but most of us can't fit one in. A good alternative is the new breed of pop-up tent. These can be found in all sorts of different shapes and sizes with lots of different characters such as tweenies, bob the builder, barbie etc. These take seconds to put up and take down and will store in a very small space. They usually come in a bag so can be hung on a hook on the back of a door or in the shed.

Slides can also be purchased which fold away but you must make sure they are safely erected before they are used.

Although you can buy swings with folding frames I would only recommend the ones for babies and young toddlers. After this they really need to be permanently atttached to the ground to avoid danger of tipping.

If your children want a basketball hoop, these are also available in a fold up design.

Apart from the need for extra space, if you can fold and put away your garden toys they will be safe from theives and will keep in better condition than if left out in all weathers.
