I’ve been wanting to get a playhouse of some sort for Darah, but I’ve been running into a few key problems.
1. They are expensive
2. The more affordable (though still quite expensive) options are made of plastic. Ick.
3. They take up a huge amount of space
4. We are short on space, as our home is only 1100 square feet
I love this work as a product review blogger, because it is just SO cool to find a product that addresses every single one of these problems. And that company is called Build a Dream Playhouses. Take a look!
Your eyes do not deceive you, these playhouses are made of cardboard! This makes them MUCH more affordable and more eco-friendly than their plastic counterparts. While I know kids can be rough on their toys, I will tell you that in the 3 weeks that we have had this product, we’ve had absolutely no problems with anything being torn or broken.
The Build a Dream Playhouses come ready to be colored, which I think is a really nice touch. This gives kids the opportunity to give their playhouses a custom look. I will say that I think it would be nice to sell a pre-colored version of their products for anyone who would like their playhouse to look a bit more polished.
I’ve made a video to show you how Build a Dream Playhouses address the space issue. Check it out and prepared to be amazed!
Uh, yeah. Tim just put it away in 12 seconds. It is so flat that we just slide it under the couch for storage. LOVE THIS!!! Putting it back together is just as easy.
Darah is absolutely delighted with her castle. Mom and dad are delighted with not sacrificing space in our house in order to give Darah something really fun to that will inspire hours of imaginative play. Plain and simple, Build a Dream Playhouses rock my world.
Buy it!: Build a Dream Playhouses start at just $39.95. The castle we reviewed retails for $59.95. All items can be purchased in the Build a Dream Playhouses shop.
