Children's playhouses - how to choose the best for your child

Childhood ... How many memories gives rise to this word: merry pranks, noisy games with friends-pranksters, pyramids from cubes, which they reconstructed into small houses in a few minutes ... Children's playrooms were simply littered with toys, and every evening an eternal problem arose - Who is tidying them up? So it repeats from generation to generation. What parents did not come up with to teach their children to clean up their own room! At the time of my childhood (and this was over thirty years ago) after another moralizing the pope brought a huge box of cardboard for toys. But a week later it was already used for other purposes. Turning it over and getting inside, my brother and I told terrible stories in the dark. The father, appreciating our cleverness, cut out on one side a small window, and on the other - a door. How much excitement this building caused from the neighbor's daughter! Coming home to friends, we erected a "dwelling" of tables and chairs, throwing blankets over them. On the street, under their "command staffs" accommodated any place that had one or two sides, the rest covered with improvised material: boxes, branches, boards. How interesting it was!

Years later, for my five-year-old daughter at Christmas, I had to look after the gift. In one of the store departments I saw a variety of small houses, children's play labyrinths and dolls Barbie, which then came into vogue (our baby adored playing with them in her daughters-mothers). After this magnificence, my gaze settled on a delicious pink miracle! It was a doll's house made of plastic with furnishings. It was him that I hid under the tree. Most mothers will understand me - how much affection is caused by surprised and happy eyes of a child! Even after many years, the daughter with gratitude remembers the surprise that was presented to her.

Why a child's house

Almost all children like to play in adults, build for themselves at home. Watching them, you can understand what kind of relationship develops in this family. Such a game ritual gives the child's imagination complete freedom. In their possessions, children feel like real masters - invite guests (friends), treat themselves with cooked sandwiches. And sensitive adults can imperceptibly direct their energy and thoughts in the right direction. It should be noted that now most families prefer to buy children's playhouses for children in the growth of a child. Some people like bright plastic structures: they are very beautiful, they are quickly disassembled, easily transported and washed. There are also drawbacks: they often break down, and it is also not always possible to determine from the material of what quality they are made (some have a very strong plastic smell). And for everything that concerns children's health, we must carefully monitor.

The most important thing is security

An excellent option will be a children's play house made of wood, especially since it is much stronger than plastic. And who from the children will refuse such a copy, as in this photo: a two-story miniature castle for a little princess, to the second floor of which you can climb up a strong grid outside! Constructions from this environmentally friendly material have a fairly wide range of models for any age. All teenagers also dream of having their own place, where no one will disturb them. Build for them such a place on thick branches, and their gratitude will not know the boundaries. Just do not damage your green friend. One tree is good, and two is even better. Connect them with a hinged path and get an additional resting place in the cool shadow of the branches, from where the surrounding surroundings are perfectly viewed. Fix them a swing, a horizontal bar, rings - here's an extra place for sports, protected from rain. Children's play tents-lodges are especially popular. This compact mobile version can be installed anywhere and in a short time. In addition, their cost is much lower. A kid attracts the appearance: colorful fabric, embroidery and appliques. At the same time they are absolutely safe (the child will not hit the corner), they can be taken to the beach or picnic in the forest (there are special hanging tents that are attached to the branches of trees). Usually they have a dense bottom, and all the openings are fastened to locks - good protection against spider bugs. As soon as the children grow up enough that they do not want to play in them anymore, wooden houses, children's playgrounds and playgrounds can be turned into a barn or other farm building without much effort. And your costs will be paid off!
