    Default cardboard playhouse???

    I currently have an inflatable playhouse in the playroom which the kids love but it keeps going soft for some reason

    I want a playhouse i could make into diffrent things as we go through topics (doctors, shop, vet, haunted house, christmas cottage ect)

    dont really want to stick anything to the curret playhouse incase it pops

    has anyone had a cardboard playhouse before if so what are they like are they strurdy enough

    i had a cardboard igloo from kideco toys, i loved it. seemed pretty sturdy; as long as the older ones took care! was quite big though!

    having just had a look, i like the look of room dividers and even cardboard chairs!

    Argos have the chad valley colour in playhouse on sale for £9.99 at the moment - we've had ours a few weeks now and it's still standing.
    It's been a doctors/wendy house/vets/tunnel/den/school etc in that time lol

    We had a new washing machine recently and the box is still looking fairly good after 4 weeks as a playhouse. Although the 'door' is tearing a little at the corners so not too much more life in it.
