Glamping offers the chance to have the great outdoors with all the comfort and amenities of home. For a family friendly glamping pod, consider looking at a glamping pod for sale, and build your own. Here’s how to make a safe, interesting, and cosy home for your little explorers.
Embrace Kid-Centred Design Ideas
When considering glamping pods, it’s important to consider what appeals to kids and what works practically. Children like spaces that feel independent but secure. Consider furniture and fixtures that kids will find easy to use, like low bunk beds.
Use Bright Colours and Playful Themes
Vibrant colours and fun themes instantly makes the space welcoming and inviting to kids. Consider a nature theme that makes children curious, like forest animals or camping adventures. This design can be integrated into bed linens, curtains and wall decorations. Lively colours naturally attract children because they can stimulate creative thought and play.
Child-Sized Furniture
By choosing kid sized furniture that is functional and stylish, kids can move freely and independently. Small tables, comfy bean bags and cushioned stools are kid friendly for drawing, playing games or eating. This way, they feel like they have a pod to themselves.
Safety Features: The Backbone of Family Glamping
Of course, fun is important, but safety must be considered when designing a glamping pod for families. With a secure setting parents are able to relax as their child takes in and enjoys the outdoor area. Follow these safety protocols to make everyone feel safe.
Childproof the Space
Simple but effective solutions include safety gates and lockable cabinets. Put gates at entries to prevent toddlers from wandering off, and secure areas where hazardous supplies are. Putting soft corner guards on furniture and fixtures can reduce the risk of injury from bumping into them. If you’re in areas where children could fall, like off of beds or platforms, set up guardrails.
Non-Slip Flooring
Bathroom floors or near entrances can become wet and be a slipping hazard. Look for materials like cork, rubber or textured vinyl that have grip. Anti-slip backings on rugs can reduce the chance of accidents in high traffic areas.
Incorporate Fun Activities and Features
Glamping pods are perfect for fun activities. Keeping children entertained with safe and fun features can turn into something like an adventure.
Add a Play Area or Mini Campground
An exciting addition when creating a glampod can be a dedicated play space inside the glamping pod. Imaginative play will be encouraged by a small indoor camping area, complete with mini tents, blankets and pillows. Parents also can add puzzles, games, or books to entertain kids.
Nature Exploration Tools
Get kids exploring the joys of nature with exploration kits that include magnifying glasses, binoculars, and bug catching jars. A wonderful way to get kids out and exploring outdoors is to set up an outdoor discovery area with a sandbox or small rock climbing wall.
Integrate Technology While Staying Low-Key
Glamping is about disconnecting, but some technology can be OK to help keep kids entertained or to make them safer.
Kid-Friendly Tech Devices
Think about a child -friendly tablet or a portable speaker. These are good for stories, educational games and movies to watch after a day of being active outdoors. Choose a device that won’t distract from the outdoors, but will be a tool for downtime.
Final Remarks
If you’re creating a family-friendly glamping pod, it’s all about making a space where kids can play, explore and rest safely. Thoughtful design and safety features will be incorporated into the perfect setting for both relaxation and adventure. Combining your imagination with the beauty of nature will make for memories that last for years to come.
