Adventure Awaits: DIY Backyard Ideas To Keep Kids Entertained

15. The DIY skateboard swing

Kids love swings, and making one is easier than you might think. Here’s how to create a DIY swing using scrap materials. All you’ll need is an old skateboard (preferably without wheels), some ropes, two handles, paint, and your toolbox.

Start by giving the old skateboard a fresh coat of paint to make it more appealing. Then, attach ropes to the skateboard and add handles for extra support. Hang the swing from a sturdy tree branch in your backyard. This is a fun way to help your kids develop balance and coordination.
