I'm paving in a chessboard with black and white pavers. The boys can play BIG chess (just like Harry Potter lol) with 30cm high chess pieces. Or draughts.
The clip idea came about after DD1 always wanted to paint inside, we have bricks outside so i asked DP if there was any way we can make up a massive board and attach those clips, then we can hang butchers paper and just let them go at it outside
Would be great for birthday parties etc aswell.
All mine are just big dreams, i would love a water feature/pond somewhere too but with a dam and a creek i know DP will say no, although the one idea we did have was to buy an or furphy, basically cut it in half, hang half near our sliding door (we have a ractangular rocked area that has an old bathtub for frogs) and turn it into a nice water feature with lighting etc
We did a wall of the patio, painted in blackboard paint, to about shoulder height, with clips along the top. Nowdays I'd do it with magnetic paint, I think you can get undercoat that is magnetic and then blackboard paint over the top.
