There are occasions when you just can not get enough of the outdoors — particularly from the dead of winter. Rather than waiting for a warm, sunny day, bring a spring into your home. Let’s cure our Cabin Fever with ideas inspired by the outdoors that work indoors too. — Mari from Small For Huge

The proof is in the picture — this kiddo enjoys having a swing indoors, and so do I! It provides the “play” into playroom.
Earthflora
Plastic Grass Mats – $34.90
What’s the best approach to bring the outdoors in? Add some grass. These plastic grass tiles would be the perfect response.
IKEA
Ikea PS Svinga Hanging Seat – $69.99
If you’re able to get into an Ikea, this kid-sized swing is ideal for the indoors. I have the larger version, and the shape prevents it from swinging as wide as a regular swing, which makes it safer. Additionally, it’s comfortable.

Perch! – Plantorb – $120
I can not bring the outdoors in without some plants. Store them in a contemporary planter like this; not only does it look great, but it will keep grabby toddlers away!
Fat Brain Toys
Wheely Bug – $69.99
My girl loves ladybugs, and we love our WheelyBug. With this roller coaster, we could get our adorable bug fix year round, even on the darkest, dreariest days.
Fawn&forest
Hut Hut By Kalon Studios – $125
Rockin’ and rollin’ is a lot easier for me to stomach when it’s on a rocker as contemporary and kick-arse as this one. Additionally, it is available in gorgeous wood.
Magic Cabin
Wooden Horse Swing – $99
I wish we’d had this cute wooden swing when my daughter was younger. It looks as though it belongs in a natural setting, unlike those ubiquitous plastic toddler swings you see everywhere.
IKEA
VIRRE garnish with Ladder and Guard Rail – $149
This wooden wonder is super classic (rather than created of nasty primary-colored vinyl). It. Score!
Etsy
I Would like to Ride My Bicycle Small Screenprint by Monorail Studio – $12
My 3 year old was saying this specific phrase all of the time recently: “I want to ride my bike.”
Magic Cabin
Handmade Bamboo Stools – $59.98
I’d choose the plain choice, but boy, a toadstool is a fairly awesome find for a child’s room. I’d really like to visit a couple paired with a really modern white crafting table.
Fawn&forest
Silly Soft Seating, Tias by P’kolino – $49
What is springtime with no adorable frog? This plush pal is oversized and furniture pal all in one. I can listen to my daughter today, “Froggy, I looooves you.”
Generate Design
Tau Seesaw – $799
This seesaw is a handmade wonder. When we had a play space, a gorgeous seesaw like this are the ideal pièce de résistance.
IKEA
Löva Bed Canopy – $14.99
Ikea’s leaf canopy is still the best approach to bring some bright green jungle time into your boring old children’ room. These items are large; I only want to snuggle underneath it with a pile of my woman’s favorite novels (and her!) .

Grass Ottoman by G H Design
This artificial grass ottoman is exhilarating enough to inspire an whole playroom.
Magic Cabin
Silk Fantasy Bowers – $99
When I was a kid, my favorite thing to do was build temples out of blankets, or branches out. This canopy combines the best of the two, with a lot less fuss.
Etsy
Power Off Printing by Laura George – $20
I want to take care of this poster more often, let us all “turn off the computer and go outside!”
ROMP
Fairy Tale Garden Tin – $14
Children love seeds and plants anyway, but this kit carries it to another level: Fairy Tale seeds based on your favorite fairy tales! What a way to bring a story to life.
Jennifer Bishop Design
There are loads of picture tipis out there today, but I really like seeing how folks integrate them into a genuine room. This tipi looks so comfy!
ROMP
Sunny Day, Cloudy Day – $22
Need some sunshine on your life? I’m betting these brightly colored puzzles will add just the correct dose.
Magic Cabin
Hand Carved Footstools – $49.98
Beautiful flowers that will blossom yearlong, these hand-carved stools can add a little whimsy. I wonder if they would work in the bathroom by the sink?
