Just some of the reasons to take the kids to Bunnings!

Ahhhhh, Bunnings. The hardware giant is THAT place I go to with my two preschoolers when I don’t quite have the motivation to take them to the park or playground on a weekend or during school holidays. I'm not even joking - they love going to Bunnings!

And why not? There’s always something I need, from cleaning supplies to storage tubs or pool chemicals to plants. Plus, not only do they have a playground and those cute little child-size trollies that the kids go car-azy over, but they also offer workshops and special events. And they serve coffee! In case you need an excuse to go to Bunnings with the kids, here are some to consider.



Some stores have a playground

Many Bunnings stores in WA have a small, indoor playground. It’s gated and usually has a multi storey play structure to climb and a slide. The playgrounds are typically located right next to the cafe too, which is always a bonus for parents. Just make sure you check the Bunnings website to see if your local Bunnings has a playground as some of the smaller stores don’t



Kids DIY workshops

Bunnings has regular DIY projects just for the kids. During these workshops they can take part in a range of crafts and projects such as making toolboxes to planter boxes, toy trucks, garden craft and more. There are different themes and workshop is aimed at children over 5 years and are designed to get kids interested in DIY, the home and gardening. You can see what workshops are coming up at your nearest store and make a booking online. Check out their online DIY videos for kids too here!

Here are just some of the workshops taking place in Perth this year:




Workshops for Parents

Bunnings has some awesome DIY workshops for parents and carers that may help parenting get just a bit easier, including the below:


Kids products

Bunnings has soooooo many cool items for kids to get them outdoors, including gardening kits and equipment, seed planting kits, colourful raised garden beds, watering cans, sandpits, playgrounds and play equipment, plus kids-sized camping chairs and equipment. They also sell awesome indoor activities such as washable paint (the best) and kids arts and craft project kits.



Food and drink

Turn up to Bunnings in any given weekend and might find a Sausage Sizzle offering a snag, roll, sauce and onions for just a few dollars! Not only is this a bargain lunch but you’ll also be contributing to a community group or local cause, so eat up! Many Bunnings Warehouses also have a cafe serving coffee and other hot drinks, cold drinks and a range of snacks, but again, check the website to see if your local has a cafe.

In-store and special events

Along with the workshops, many Bunnings stores have family and kids’ events on a regular basis. Here are just some of the examples:



Those child-sized trollies

Where else can you find pint-sized trollies just for the kids? My girls LOVE having their own trolleys. It certainly slows us down and stops them from running amok and annoying the other shoppers.

Righto, I’m off to Bunnings with the kids for some washable paint and floor cleaner.
