Benefits of a Playhouse

A playhouse offers children a creative outlet to explore their imagination. With the freedom to invent stories and act out various scenarios, children can engage in imaginative play, which is essential for cognitive growth. Whether they transform the playhouse into a spaceship or a safe haven from molten lava, children will have endless hours of fun and learning. 

The playhouse not only promotes cognitive development, but also encourages physical activity and movement. Children improve their motor skills and coordination while climbing, crawling, or running around. We have taken this into consideration when designing our playhouses, ensuring a minimum 12mm finger gap around the door, planed and rounded timbers, and ventilation holes. Our playhouses are EN71 certified and UKCA Marked, prioritizing your child's safety.

In today's society, electronic devices and television tend to dominate a child's free time. To reduce screen time and encourage outdoor activities, providing a dedicated space for children to enjoy is essential. Playhouses offer the perfect solution for children to have their own area to explore and play.
