When I moved into my new house, one of the things I was most excited about was the chance to have a garden not just a yard.  I knew that once sam grew up he would love running around and being outside, and I wasn't wrong.  Last summer he was still a bit small to properly enjoy it, but now he is running around like crazy so I started to plan some areas for him to play in.  My favourite so far is the dirt patch for diggers:

At Christmas Sam got lots of digger toys and these are great for playing in the dirt with.  Why don't you have a go at making a digger patch?  Boys with be boys after all ......

I am also planning on making a water wall for him with bottles and funnels and tubes that he can pour water into.  Perhaps I might have it finished for my w post!
