Kids Wood Playhouse

Hobbit house

If you're looking for something beautiful and quirky that will attract your children to play in it for hours, why not consider a Hobbit house style? Made using sturdy planks of natural wood, it is ideal for children between 3-7 and has enough space for 4-6 children to play. There is a circular door and small circular window through which your children can enter and exit the playhouse or look through.

Full-size playhouse

Not all homes have the budget or the space to buy one of these playhouses, but if you want a real feature piece for the garden, you can almost buy a second home! With two or more small rooms within the playhouse, these castle-style houses are large enough for adults to fit inside too (although it could be a squeeze!). Popular colors to complement the castle design are pink, blue and purple, although the wood can often be repainted in a color of your choice.

Tree house style

It isn't necessarily built in a tree, but this style is perfect if you're attempting a 'fairy garden' look. With wooden planks joined together to create the main frame, and slate pieces along the ceiling for even more character, you can customize this playhouse into almost anything you want. Steps up to the door give a beautiful air of anticipation, while a wooden bench or plants outside are extra features which you can choose to add for your garden. Twisted branches or wood may be seen outside to replace railings or borders.

Playhouse and climbing frame

Combining a playhouse with a mini playground or climbing frame is the ideal way to get your kids moving a bit more. With wooden steps on one side and a durable wooden slide at the opposite side for them to come back down again, your children will have endless hours of fun from a design like this. While a small playhouse is located either at the top of the climbing frame or at ground level, there are extra wooden beams connected to allow the installation of swings, extra slides and monkey bars.

Wigwam playhouse

Another interesting design to consider for your garden is the wigwam style playhouse. This simple wooden design takes up less space than some of the other designs, and you'll only need around 15 square feet in the garden for this, making it an ideal option for the homes with smaller gardens. A sturdy platform inside ensures that your children do not come into contact with anything from the ground.
