Pirate Ship Adventure
Transform the playhouse into a pirate ship complete with a plank, sails, and a crow’s nest. Add a treasure chest filled with “loot,” and let kids embark on swashbuckling adventures on the high seas.
Enchanted Castle
Create a fairytale castle with turrets, drawbridges, and secret passages. Incorporate whimsical decorations like fairy lights, colorful banners, and royal flags to bring the enchantment to life. Don’t forget to include fun dress up costumes.
Tree House
If your playhouse is nestled in a tree, embrace the natural surroundings and turn it into a treehouse. Use rustic wood, ropes, and ladders to create a cozy elevated hideaway. Our garden sheds can be lofted to have a raised treehouse appeal.
Space Station
Design the playhouse as a futuristic space station, complete with control panels, space suits, and telescopes. Kids can embark on intergalactic adventures while learning about the cosmos.
Farmhouse
Turn the playhouse into a mini farmhouse with a picket fence, small garden beds, and a play kitchen stocked with faux fruits and vegetables. Kids can play at being farmers, tending to their imaginary crops and animals. Consider placing it close to your real vegetable garden so they can really get involved.
Fairy Garden
Craft a whimsical fairy garden-themed playhouse with fairy lights, tiny furniture, and mini gardens. Let kids enter a magical realm where they can host tea parties and embark on fairy quests.
Wild West Saloon
Transform the playhouse into a Wild West saloon with swinging doors, a bar counter, and a sheriff’s badge. Kids can role-play as cowboys and cowgirls in a western frontier setting. Take it to the next level by adding a mini fridge with kid-approved drinks so they can serve each other for real.
Under the Sea
Create an underwater wonderland with ocean-themed murals, fish nets, and aquatic decorations. Let kids dive into imaginative underwater escapades with mermaids, submarines, and sea creatures. If you happen to have a pool, this is the perfect addition to the backyard.
Superhero Headquarters
Design the playhouse as a superhero headquarters with logo decals, capes, masks, and crime-fighting gear. Kids can unleash their inner superheroes and protect the neighborhood from imaginary villains.
Safari Expedition
Turn the playhouse into a safari outpost with binoculars, animal prints, and jungle-themed decor. Kids can embark on exciting wildlife adventures and learn about different animal species. Fill a bookshelf with animal encyclopedias to make this as educational as it is fun.
Art Studio
Create an art studio playhouse with easels, art supplies, and a gallery wall to display masterpieces. Encourage kids to explore their creative side and express themselves through art. This is a particularly good fit if you have a wide range of genders and ages to suit.
Dinosaur Digs
Transform the playhouse into a prehistoric land with dinosaur murals, fossils, and toy dinosaurs. Kids can go on archaeological digs and embark on epic dinosaur adventures. This is the perfect place for on theme sensory bins, keeping the mess out of the house while you let the kids explore and have fun.
Enchanted Forest
Design the playhouse to resemble a magical forest, complete with tree trunks, fairy lights, and woodland creatures. Kids can let their imaginations run wild in this enchanting setting. Get creative with the outdoor space by surrounding the playhouse with fun plants.
Circus Carnival
Turn the playhouse into a mini circus with colorful banners, a ticket booth, and circus-themed games. Kids can put on clown performances, practice juggling, and imagine they’re under the big top. Consider adding a window for selling tickets, with the added bonus of extra light and ventilation.
Science Lab
Create a science lab playhouse with lab coats, test tubes, and magnifying glasses. Kids can engage in hands-on experiments and explorations, fostering their curiosity and love for science.
