You can create a fun and whimsical experience for the kids right in your backyard with a little DIY magic. All you need are a few poles, twine, and some beans or climbing flowers. With that, you can craft yourself a bean pole tent.

You can teach your kids how to grow beans and give them a fun place to hang out in. Once the beans start to grow, it will create a thick covering over the poles. Then your kids can use it like a tent.

Don’t have any kids? Just make one big enough for adults to sit in by adjusting your poles and width. Or just use it as a pretty focal piece in your garden or yard. You can get design ideas in this slideshow and instructions on how to make one here.
