It’s the firm conviction of the Recommended section that, at heart, everyone wants a playhouse. A small shed to dream, idle hours away in, share good times with friends or read a book on your own - bliss.
And while we concede that the adult equivalent of a playhouse - the blessed shed - may not be practical for many of us, either financially, in terms of physical space, or in terms of the people we cohabit with (who may be jealous of aforementioned shed, or time spent escaping there) providing your child(ren) with their own haven for play is far more obtainable, and likely to be meet with universal alacrity in the household.
We’ve found our favourite playhouses - some wooden, some plastic, and some tents, to allow your child to wile away their days having fun, while you watch on and thrill to the vicarious pleasure of knowing they have their own corner of the world to daydream in.
