There are a whole host of advantages associated with buying a playhouse for your child. For instance, a playhouse is a toy which can be enjoyed by several children thus it aids social interactivity and allows your child to play with others and build up friendships. This is a great plus because today most toys revolve around sitting in the house playing on video games.

Another advantage is that through playing with a playhouse your child will be having some healthy fun. As I am sure you know, it is vitally important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but with children it is not as simple as getting them to do fifty sit ups every morning!

Not only this, but the playhouse features a functioning door and shutters, a telephone and two seats for when your child needs a break and an ice cold drink.

Obviously the playhouse is themed around Winnie the Pooh, and this is another reason why it is such a popular option. Most young children love Winnie the Pooh, and as it has been a long-time favourite you don’t need to worry about it going out of fashion or becoming unpopular, like other TV shows and characters may do.

The playhouse retails at £284.99 and is designed for children aged between two years old and five years old. The dimensions of the product are as follows: 165 cm in height x 165 cm in width x 230 cm in length.

Step 2 Sweetheart Playhouse


A child’s playhouse is their first experience of having their own space that is truly theirs. Even though all kids have their bedroom as their own personal space, the fact that parents can come and go as they please makes it less of a personal space than a playhouse, which is somewhere kids can let their imaginations go wild and create their own fantasy life to enjoy fun role play games alone or with their friends and siblings.

One of the most gorgeous playhouses you can get at the moment is the Step 2 Sweetheart Playhouse, which is a gingerbread house-style playhouse perfect for giving little girls a fairy tale home of their own as their base for all their games and role play adventures. Kids can enjoy setting up their own little home and keeping house inside this beautiful playhouse, which features pink and purple pastel shades, and heart shaped design features to make it a real girly paradise. The playhouse features opening shutters to the windows and a door which opens and closes fully so your child is able to shut themselves off from reality for an afternoon and enjoy being in their own world for a while.

The Step 2 Sweetheart Playhouse has some gorgeous interior design features to complete it, including a clock and, most excitingly, a convertible range which can turn over and become a barbeque grill for ‘summer cooking’ with their friends. With this house your child has the full set required for their own little home to keep clean and work as a base for all of their secrets and games. The doorbell even works, so if you want to enter you’ll have to ring the bell just as visitors to your own house do!

The playhouse is well made so that it can stand up to any weather conditions, making it the perfect playhouse for any weather. In the summertime why not set it up in the back garden so your child can have adventures in the sun with their playhouse as a retreat? The firm plastic roof will keep out rain and nothing can be more exciting than sitting in their playhouse whilst the rain pours down outside. The Step 2 Sweetheart Playhouse also dismantles completely for easy storage so you won’t have to have it littering a corner of the room when it is not being played with, and it can go away until your child next wants to set it up. It should last as long as you want it to so once your child has outgrown it it will be perfect to hand down to younger siblings or friends, making it great value for money.

How To Build Your Own Kids Wooden Playhouses


A playhouse is something that most children would love, giving them a space that is completely their own to enjoy, and is strictly no parents allowed! Kids can have their own secret meetings, enjoy playing house in a much more realistic representation of a home, or just have somewhere to escape whenever day to day life gets stressful.

Plastic playhouses are great to be kept in the home, but kids will absolutely adore the idea of having their own wooden kids playhouse in the garden. As anyone with a shed knows, a wooden playhouse will last under any weather conditions and once it is built will pretty much last as long as you want it to, giving your children a place to go whenever they like, whatever the weather. You can, of course, buy wooden playhouses which come with instructions and are already designed gorgeously to appeal to adults and children alike. However, if you are looking for a more cost effective way to build your children their own playhouse you may want to build it yourself. You won’t need to have a great deal of skill when it comes to carpentry, but a good plan and some solid ground to build on.

Choose the area in which you want the playhouse and work out roughly what size you want it to be. Once you know what space you are working with, and anything you may need to work around (plants and trees, concrete areas) then you can start planning your playhouse. As this is for your children, it is a good idea to bring them into the planning process. Ask what they want from a playhouse (within reason!) and make this into a list of features. You can then start looking online for playhouse plans that will help you find the right materials and make sure everything is the right size and shape before you begin.

For the right materials, look online for cheap wood suppliers and you should be able to find some materials that are being sold off cheap. Just make sure everything is going to be big enough, or of the right quality to build a playhouse that is going to last. You don’t want to go for MDF or anything too flimsy as then the next windy day you may find you only have half a playhouse!

Once you have your materials you can start cutting everything down to the right size in advance so that you have all the pieces, all the nails, wood, or brackets you need and then you can follow the instructions on your plan to start putting the playhouse together. At this stage it will be just as easy to build your playhouse from scratch as it would be to buy one and put that together in the garden.
