I have to admit that I didn't. But now that I've seen so many cool projects people are doing using pallets, I understand the appeal. After all, it's such a cheap alternative to using regular wood.

And when I say cheap, I mean really cheap.

You can even get some pallets for free. Hit up a local grocery store, and I bet they can spare some. Just make sure they haven't been infested with any bugs, and you're good to go.

Okay, so what is this latest idea, you ask?

It's a backyard playhouse tent. OMG, what? Oh, yes, that's right. You can build one for yourself or for your kids to play in. And it looks a little something like this. Wow, isn't that so cool?

You can get your kids to help you build one.

And, they can even paint it, too. If that's not a great way to keep kids occupied outdoors, I don't know what is? Ha, ha! I absolutely love this idea.

Forget about making a treehouse.

This idea is even more simple. And it will also supply your kids with loads of hours of fun. Look how cute this one is inside. Awe, I bet this little one is really enjoying it.

Look at this little working hard to build one here.

Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen? I would love to build one for our backyard. I think our nieces and nephews would totally dig playing in there.

Oh my goodness, this is the coziest little nook here.

Honestly, I would like to hang out there myself, hehe. I could just see myself chilling in here reading a book or maybe just having a nap in nature. That sounds so wonderful.
