Our advice Buying Guide

A place for your kids to play and explore is valuable for many reasons. Kids play to learn, develop, and help exert all that extra energy. Parents also hope that their kids develop a good sense of creativity and aren’t too reliant on the tv, tablet, or smartphone for entertainment. A large kids playhouse is a great gift for your child and for yourself as well. That’s because they’ll be busy playing instead of bothering you!

Large kids playhouses come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. There are different themes and some for indoors and others for outdoors. The right kids playhouse depends on several different factors. Check out our list of what to consider to ensure you get the right type of playhouse for your kid to enjoy.

Where to best place a large playhouse for kids?

The big location factor is whether you’ll be placing it inside or outside. This changes the size and materials you should consider. Obviously, outside will allow for more room, but at the same time you’ll need to invest more to ensure the material is durable and able to withstand weather.

How big should a kids' playhouse be?

Large can mean several different things depending on the circumstances. You’re going to need to consider how much space you have available for the playhouse. The size of your child or children will also be important to consider.

Toddlers are fairly small and don’t need much space. 6, 7, and 8-year-olds, on the other hand, are starting to grow more and will require more room to play. If you plan on having your child use the playhouse throughout their childhood, then go on the larger size so they don’t outgrow it too fast.

What are large kids' playhouses crafted from?

Playhouses made for indoors are commonly available in a tent-like material that is lightweight. This allows for the playhouse to be moved around easily and is a safe choice for small children. Hard plastic is also common, though it makes it more difficult to move the around.

For outdoor playhouses, it’s always good to go with wood and hard plastics since these materials aren’t affected much by weather. Metal is very reliable but might not be the best material for young children.

What are the common themes of kids' playhouses?

If your child or children have a favorite theme, then it may make sense to choose a playhouse that fits their preference. A toddler boy may enjoy a tent playhouse that is designed to be a firetruck or firestation. A young girl would love a “house” or restaurant themed playhouse. Outdoor playhouses always win with a treehouse/cabin theme. Ask your child what they like and you might be surprised to hear their preference.

A playhouse for your child is exciting and should be chosen with care. Safety is always the most important things to consider. If your child is still young, try to get a playhouse that they can keep on using as they grow older to get the most out of this item for your home.
