Used Playhouse For Sale

The size that's appropriate for your kids will depend on their height and the location where the playhouse will be installed or placed. Also, you'd have to consider the number of children that will use the playhouse at a time. Leave extra room for the kids to play and move around inside their playhouse as well.

As a responsible parent, you already know what your kids enjoy and love. Try to get the playhouse that has features which your kids will be ecstatic about like slides and swing sets. There are even playhouses that come with towers. They are great if you want your kids to show their adventurous side. One feature that every playhouse should have though is a large window for you to see what's going on inside.

Most playhouses for sale are made of plastic and wood. The wooden ones are more durable. They're also traditional with the ability to enhance your backyard's aesthetics. A plastic one is great for short-term play. As it comes in a smaller size, it is for small children.

If you are budget conscious and you want the playhouse to last for years instead of just one summer season, then consider getting a massive wooden playhouse made for kids ages 5-11 as it is guaranteed to serve your family for a long time.

Most playhouses for sale require you to do a DIY assembly. Don't fret as they're incredibly easy to assemble. You'll also be given simple and straightforward instructions on how to assemble the units with holes that are already predrilled. A wooden playhouse is meant to remain in one place as soon as it is assembled, unlike its plastic counterpart which can be moved and taken down anytime. If you will purchase a playhouse that needs to be assembled, you don't need to hire experts. No special tools or skills will be needed as all you have to do is put the screws in. Of course, you need to tighten them to secure them in place!

Maria Montessori is responsible for much of the early theory that leads to making realistic toys for children. Her theory was that children learn from their environment and that when provided with child-sized implements they would use them to learn to manage their world. Playhouses are part of the industry outgrowth from that theory. They can come in all sizes, from the backyard monster, complete with climbing walls, swings and slides down to tiny purse-sized doll houses that can be carried along to the doctor’s office or discretely brought out during times when the child needs to play quietly.

The Skyfort II Cedar Wood Swing set

Ms. Montessori would have loved the Skyfort II Cedar Wood Swing set - the playset that has it all. While more correctly a playset, rather than playhouse, it is topped with a charming fort that is complete with spyglass, perfect for being bold frontier settlers or pirates. There are plenty of options for active play. The playhouse is accessed by a climbing wall, a set of steps or an exercise bar. The set includes swings and a slide, as well as a picnic table and benches for snack time or to just read or relax with small toys.

Big Kids Tent Playhouse

It is not always appropriate or convenient to have a permanent playset in your backyard. Nor can you take it with you when visiting or traveling. The perfect solution is a big children play tent, with ball pit, crawl tunnel and even a small basketball net. It has the same attention to detail that is given to summer camping tents, with breathable mesh windows and top, a fly covering, and tent-peg tie-downs. It is perfect for birthday parties and teamed up with sandbags, can even be set up in a gym or garage for rainy day fun.

Victorian Playhouse

When only a miniature mansion will do, nothing compares to the Victorian mansion with two levels, upper windows and realistically sturdy stairways and doors that open and close. The bottom floor is large enough for one padded bench, one chair and one table – perfect for a retreat.

Doll-Sized Playhouse

Not all playhouses need to be large enough for a child to enter. Sometimes they can be sized for favorite dolls, doll-sized furniture, a pretty little loft bed, and a back door that opens and closes. The house can be accessed from the invisible “fourth wall” that exists only in the child’s imagination. Such playhouses are available, for instance, for Mattel’s Barbie and Ken dolls. Fisher Price puts out a line of houses for their chubby “little people”.
