The Great Outdoors and Kids

If your kids are anything like mine, and I suspect they might be, they will love the great outdoors. They run free, play wildly and can’t get enough of it. Rain, sun or snow they love it. Me too actually, I love watching them play. I love to watch their imagination run rampant and turn twigs into swords and houses, build homes for fairies, camping in the garden and so much more.

While on our adventures we spotted hollowed out trees, they were amazing, but at home, we don’t have something similar. This got me searching for playhouses with a difference and I came across the one below. There are so many reasons I love it, it is massive for a start, so if you have a couple of children there is room for them all to play. I like the rustic look of it, it would fit in so many styles of garden, but most of all I love that it looks like the houses from the children’s books I read to the girls. They are always built of wood, always a little bit bent and ALWAYS look dreamy.

Imagination is something that seems so fleeting, one day they are pretending to be hiding from dragons, the next they are reading novels and asking for iPads. The great outdoors, even in the garden, is a glorious place and the right playhouses can contribute to many a great adventure.
