Adventure Awaits! Kids Cardboard Farm Playhouse - Color, Draw, and Customize - Great for Playtime and Arts-and-Crafts Time

I purchased this to keep my grandgirls busy on Christmas Eve. They had an absolutely blast having permission to color on fake walls. Due to rumbunctiousness, it fell over on a few occasions. I also put a couple of towels down on the floor so if their washable markets fell, uncapped, it didn't get on the area rug. It was a great way to keep them busy after a long car ride to Mimi's house.

To light weight. The boy recked it in a day. He plays with card board boxes all the time that last longer.

The chimney attachment wasn’t even included & there was a hole where it should have been. Had to return because it’s useless without the chimney

Clever design, and fun for the kits to decorate, but I can't help wondering of a large appliance carton wouldn't offer at least as much fun for considerably less. YMMV.

My toddler did get a solid hour or so of use from this, which is considered a huge win for us. However, It is very difficult, maybe impossible, to get the creases in the cardboard to stay taught enough for the house to stay up. Attaching the roof is also very frustrating, as it requires shoving a notch of cardboard into a hole that is half the size of the notch. Last, since the house is light weight, it scoots and tips over as the child colors on it.Again, regardless of the cons, this activity was well enjoyed by my 3 yr old. Its more of a one-and-done type of activity for us.

Never underestimate the power of cardboard! I don't think I know a single child that doesn't love a good cardboard box. I was so glad to have found this in the Vine but this will be worth what you pay. I am a HUGE fan and advocate for paper and cardboard playthings, in general. They are inexpensive and while often easily damaged, they are also an easily replenished resource. Some of my kiddos' favorite toys are paper dolls & dollhouses, cardboard costumes, and paper cake decorating sets. I think because these things are so ephemeral, they've lost a lot of their appeal for a lot of folks. There are many people who have a hard time accepting sunk costs when it comes to purchasing, then disposing of, or decluttering, household items and prefer to have something lasting to show for what they've paid. I would DEFINITELY argue the benefits of spending money on something that is consumable and/or disposable that will yield a fun experience. As a minimalist, this has a great appeal to me for my kids because it can be easily disposed of when it has reached the end of its life. Because it is cardboard, it isn't a huge plaything that will linger around my house FOREVER. When I say "disposable," I do not mean "trash." This cardboard playhouse offers PLENTY of play experience and it is sturdy enough to last for a long while. When I say "disposable," I really mean that it has a finite shelf life. Until it reaches the end of that life, it can be colored/painted, decorated, played in, AND can be disassembled and stored away until they are ready to play again. This has great appeal to me as a parent, but it offers a lot of value to my kids as well. It is great because it encourages both creativity AND imaginative play. Additionally, this is a VERY cost-effective option for folks who want to give their kids a play house but might not be able to afford one of those ridiculously priced wooden ones (or even the plastic ones). It is equally appealing to those of us who just don't have tons of space for huge toys. This was very quick and easy to assemble and it is holding together well. I could barely get it all put together before my kids were already going in and out, setting it up for "living," lighting it, adding decorations, etc., and is being colored as I write this. Then, at the end of the day, I can take it apart and tuck it into a closet or even under the couch. Furthermore, it is easy to replace and refresh once it is ready to "die." Once it has outlived its use, it can go in the recycling and I can get a new one so the experience for them is made new again as well. Add it to your kids' holiday gift wishlist; tell your friends; you won't regret it.

This kids’ cardboard house is really great. It’s a large cardboard house that’s black & white, made for kids to color and decorate to make it their own. You can color it with markers, colored pencils, crayons, paint, etc. You can even decorate it with different craft items and supplies from around the house.The house is large and fits tow kids inside. I got this house for my two kids (age 7&9) to share with their 3 friends on a play date. It was a great activity for them. They all colored it together, made notes and played pretend. It was a lot of fun, kept them busy for a few hours and they come back to play with it daily.The quality is pretty great especially for a cardboard box house. The cardboard is thick and strong and the house stands upright and is sturdy. The kids color it outside and play inside and it’s quite durable.The house arrives pre-assembled for the most part and comes folded in a large carry box. Minor assembly is necessary after unboxing to get it standing up. You attach the roof and chimney and all set. It takes about 5-10 minutes total.Plus, you can fold it back up once you’re done using it and store it back in the box it came in for future use.

Very expensive for what it is
