A garden playhouse for a wacky time

Friday, 25 May 2012 09:57

With the sun shining and the school holidays looming most of the family focus will be on garden activities.
Children love to have their own playhouse where they can let their imagination go wild.
It seems only fitting then that a playhouse be wild and wacky also and we at myfamilyhome.co.uk think we have found the right one.

Pictured is the Crooked Tower wooden garden playhouse.
It looks like something out of a Doctor Seuss book and is sure to be a winner with the children this summer.
The playhouse is available from Pedal Pushers and created with fun in mind.
It has a novelty door which is bright yellow and slightly skewed.

There is a fun floor-height port hole to peek out of and a chimney on the roof.
A ladder gives access to the balcony but there is no need to climb back down when leaving the playhouse because you can slide down.
The house is made from pre-treated fir which is stained to create the vivid colours.
The house comes in the pink or a bright green so you can tailor it to your garden.
Inside there is plenty of space for play and it even has a light.

This one comes ready to go just choose a level area of the yard for placement.
