Outdoor Playhouses

1. Short of finding a genie in your garden, outdoor play cottages are the easiest way to turn your child's "play house" fantasies into extraordinary reality. The Little Cottage wood playhouses collection is especially lifelike, with real, incredibly detailed architectural styles.

2. Some kids want to use their outdoor playhouse come rain, come shine, or even come vacation. Play tents are a versatile, portable alternative to wooden playhouses, perfect for rainy-day movie marathons in the basement or weekend camping trips.

3. Our selection at PlayHouses.com includes many outdoor playhouses for girls of all ages. Outdoor playhouses with period or fairy tale architecture are popular choices for girls, including Little Cottage Victorian and Cape Cod cottages. Little Cottage gingerbread wood playhouses will charm your Gretel (or Hansel).

4. Wooden outdoor playhouses offer superior durability, realism, and weather-resistance. If you spot a style you love but aren't sure about the color, no problem: many of our wooden outdoor playhouse designs let you paint in your color of choice.

5. Prefer the natural, homesteading look for your Little House on the Backyard Prairie? Wood outdoor playhouses made from unfinished cedar are the next best thing to churned butter. Allow the exterior to weather naturally, or apply a protective finish.

6. Plastic offers a number of benefits to those seeking kids outdoor playhouses for younger children. Plastic outdoor playhouses are lightweight, portable, and affordable. They also can feature molded designs that kids love, such as castles or cottage-style kitchens.

7. Tunnels turn each journey from the real house to your kids outdoor playhouse into a creeping, crawling adventure. A tunnel and tent combo set up next to the patio can also keep kids dry on a rainy day.

8. "If only there were a tree in the backyard, we could have a tree house." Sound familiar? Here's something unfamiliar: Daniels Wood Land tree houses come with their own tree. These luxury treehouses are so packed with fun features, it's like having an amusement park in your backyard.

9. When building outdoor playhouses for kids, sometimes there's just no substitute for imagination. Fortamajig play forts give you the basic material you need - sturdy, washable, brightly colorful nylon sheets - and lets you do the building.

10. Why walk out the front door when you could slide? The selection of outdoor playhouses for children at PlayHouses.com includes a number of slide-equipped houses - and not just plastic ones. Some wooden playhouses in the Suncast HomePlace collection feature slides.
