Butterfly Cottage Playhouse
What could be more fun for a kid than their very own little house? This cheery Summer Cottage playhouse will be well loved over the years, as a cozy spot for reading, tea parties, playing board-games, and all sorts of imaginative play.
It's immediately obvious that the Summer Cottage playhouse far surpasses ordinary playhouses. No detail is spared in the handiwork-the playhouse is expertly stitched of the finest embroidered woven cotton; colorful flower appliques decorate its border. The roll-up window coverings, and curtains add a sweet touch, and the optional handmade floor quilt, appliqued with flowers and butterflies, makes it even cozier inside. A great addition to the garden, playroom, or bedroom.

Orange Stripe Playtent
Two moms have dreamed up the ultimate cozy nook for tea parties, games, reading, and all sorts of imaginary play. The Anderson play tent is 100% cotton in a print featuring giant pink and perwinkle blue poppies, with colorful stripes and hot pink trim, finished with apple green polka dotted grosgrain ribbon. Each tent comes fully assembled, bundled in a special storage tube, and is easily folded for storage in closet corners or under beds. Each play tent is custom made.
Important Note: When shopping for a play tent for your child, consider the materials used for its construction. Lucy & Michael play tents use sturdy cotton fabrics, and solid pine supports. Most others use flimsy plastic that can break easily. We've chosen to offer Lucy & Michael tee-pee style play tents because we believe they are the finest quality on the market, and we love their gorgeous fabric combinations.

Play Stand
The Play Stand is an all-purpose play prop found in many schools and homes. Its uses are as varied as the imaginations of the children using it. It can be a storefront, puppet theater, horse or vehicle . . . and at night, it doubles as a shelf for baskets of toys, and a place to hang costumes, jump ropes, etc. It's sturdy enough for children to sit upon, and yet light enough for young children to maneuver.

This kit comes with the necessary materials and detailed instructions. In most cases, they will take less than one hour to complete.
Our crafty Large Cable Car Kit creates a miniature system for transporting stuff across the room or up to the tree fort. For ages 9+.
