Michelle, from Macclesfield, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

We recently built this area to help with the current lockdown. We can now eat out side play games together have lots of family time together. Also nice fires at night to keep us all warm.

Everything worked as we had a plan of what we wanted at the end of it all.

Do you have any other projects planned?

Our next project is to build a bird Avery for a barn owl. We are going to show and learn our children all about the owl

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

We are Michelle and Paul, we have 3 children 2 boys both aged 8 and a girl aged 7.  We are from Macclesfield, Cheshire

How are you finding being housebound so far?

It’s hard but now we have this area we can now eat outside do arts and crafts. Also we can sit around the fire at night

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Just try and make things fun or just to get the kids to help cleaning cooking gardening most kids love to join in

Has this website and community helped you?
