Toy playhouses are a great item for backyard play. Outdoor playhouses spark imagination in children because they are not just a house where pretend families live. Sometimes, they rocket ships lifting off into space. Sometimes a cottage playhouse turns into a magical fairy house. Perhaps the wooden playhouse is really an army fort in the Old West. Children's imaginations are not limited, so consider purchasing a playhouse for them and watch the games begin.
Cottage playhouses or an outdoor playhouse generally does not include electricity. Therefore, make sure that your playhouse site, even if it is up a tree, has a nice amount of natural light and that the house, itself has adequate ventilation and window spaces. Further, do not buy a house that is too large for where you want it to sit. Measure twice and order once is a good rule to follow. In addition, if the playhouse is going to be a focal point in the yard, then you may not want the pink, plastic type of toy playhouse. While it is easy to hose down, it could become an eyesore. Instead, pick a cottage playhouse that will blend in better with the neighborhood.
Determine your budget before shopping for a playhouse. If the children are helping pick out their playhouse, have a conversation about how much you are willing to spend so that there are no big surprises for them at the end of the shopping process. A small plastic toy playhouse can cost as little as $50 from a toy store, but an elaborate, trimmed, painted playhouse with real windows and doors could cost over $5,000. (The latter type is produced by specialty companies, and may require special order status.) Outdoor playhouses can be purchased at toy stores, home improvement centers, and, sometimes, gardening stores. However, there is a much bigger selection of houses to be found on the internet. There are websites offering play houses of every style imaginable and you can see them all via a click of the mouse. Of course, note that ordering a house means there will be a delivery charge and you may even have to build the item yourself.
A wooden or cottage playhouse is a good choice for most people. Wood is more natural looking and can be maintained with paint and regular cleaning. Once the outdoor playhouse is chosen, the kids can make it their own with a little paint, maybe some stencils and a lot of imagination. Alternatively, wallpaper is a good choice for the interior and you can use whatever scraps are available at your home. Mix and match the patterns. Only children will see the final result and they will enjoy the funky mix of colors and shapes. Also, look around for inexpensive furniture. Stools and trunks are good ideas for playhouses because they are good for seating and for storage.
Kids will enjoy the playhouse for years and you will feel good knowing that you helped inspire their play.
