Does your child wish for an outdoor play house that they can tailor to their own tastes and preferences? There are many unique features, fun areas, and kid-friendly elements to encourage imaginative play that can be included in a children’s playhouse. Incorporating some of these elements into your own play house will make it standout from wooden playhouses that are average or off-the-rack.
Check out these 10 tips that can make wooden playhouses go from drab to fab! :
- Trap door. Kids love hidden doors and a trap door is no exception. Adding a trap door to a playhouse house ensures that your kids playhouse is special and unique. It adds significantly to the imaginative and creative play your child can experience in the the playhouse.
- Skylights. Kids are always interested in their surroundings and a skylight is a great way to bring the outdoors inside. Your child will gain a new perspective on the outside world with a skylight in their playhouse.
- Stilts. An elevated playhouse on stilts is something every kid wants and desires. Kids love being up above the ground. The above ground playhouse feature can easily be incorporated into playing “pirates at sea” and “the attack of alien space ships”. Why not encourage that creativity on a regular basis with a playhouse that is elevated?
- Fireman’s pole. Children look up to firemen and want to be just like them. Do you remember how many times you as a child pretended to play a fireman? Lots! A fireman’s pole makes it so much more real to play “fireman” and to be the hero and save people.
- Lookout tower. One doesn’t see many enclosed or open lookout towers for playhouses, but it’s a feature that sets your playhouse apart from others.
- Loft area. Loft areas are fun as a place to gather or have sleep overs or just to get away for some quiet time.
- Patio, porch or deck. What kid doesn’t want their own patio, porch or deck, just like a real home has?
- Pass through window. Kids love having a lemonade stand or pretending to play like they are driving through a McDonald’s restaurant. A pass through window is perfect for these games.
- Built in bench and table. Playing games such as “restaurant” or “house” is much easier if there is a table and bench available.
- Dutch doors. Homes don’t typically have dutch doors. Because Dutch doors are unusual and different, kids find them interesting and will love to have the top part of the door open.
The top 10 kid-rated fun features list should give you ideas of what you want in your children’s playhouse. Including these items into wooden playhouses will make your child very happy because you are considering your child’s likes and dislikes and tailoring the playhouse to fit their own imaginative and creative play tastes.
