Wonderland
From a low stump, it will turn out to build a whole magical land, where the castle will be the central figure, and the space around you can be lined with moss, made of plywood toy garden furniture, and weave a fence from small branches. From blue plastic, you can cut a pond or a rivulet across which a small bridge will spread.

As attributes, you can take pebbles painted in two different colors - one for crosses, the other for zeros.
Children's area
If the stump is bulky and tall, you can attach a plastic slide base to it. Make steps from wooden cuts, and protect the platform with a fence made of boards, decorated with a thick cord.
Wooden throne
Perennial trees have huge trunks, from which massive stumps are obtained. This can make an original throne. Part of the area is cut under the seat, which is sanded and processed. You can cover it with a decorative pillow. The back and side parts are cut out of the rest.
Farm table
The easiest way to use an old tree stump is to make it the base of the table, if height permits. The top of the stump is treated with an anti-rotting compound, as are the boards for the countertops, which are nailed on top. The main thing is to level the surface of the stump with a level so that the table does not tilt.
Glass table
If a rustic farm-style wooden table doesn't fit into the exterior of the site, we suggest you make it lighter and more elegant. To do this, you need tempered glass or high-strength polycarbonate, from which a round tabletop will be cut. First, you need to make a wooden frame that can be painted in a suitable color, because it will be visible from under the transparent surface.

Large bench
If the area of the stump allows, then with the help of a chainsaw you can make a roomy bench. To do this, you need to decide on the height of the landing and at this level cut out a place under the seat, form the back and armrests from the rest. The surface should be carefully treated and covered with an anti-rot and mildew compound.
