The Little Tikes Playhouse is Packed With Hundreds of Adventures in Every Corner

The Little Tikes playhouse is packed with so many different things to do that there is an adventure in every corner. My little girl loves all the adventures that she has in her playhouse. Even on the outside, there are three different activity areas where she plays pretend.

My little girl is 2 1/2 years old and most days she does not want to leave her house, inside or out there are so many things for her to do. Inside she lets he imagination take over, outside she uses the real sport area. She loves to play basketball on the one outside wall. The hoop is a perfect height for her, she can make a basket but she does need to try. This is great for her coordination skills.

On the sports side of the Little Tikes playhouse there is a soccer net and numbered targets that you can throw a ball at. I made up a game where I will pick a number and she tries to hit that number with the ball. Not only is her coordination getting better but she is learning her numbers now too. Our next game will be odd numbers and even numbers. I think it is great that a toy can be fun and help a child learn at the same time.

On another outside wall is a gas station, since she has watched me get gas so many times, she already knows how to pull her lawnmower up to the Little Tikes playhouse pump and fill up her own gas tank before she mows the grass. She even slides a pretend card through the slot and pretends to punch in numbers before she gets her gas.

Her friends love to come over and play in both her cottage playhouse and her other Little Tikes playhouse. We set them up in the yard so it looks like a little town. They will play in the cottage, and then get in their cars and go to the drive up window that is in the other playhouse. The Little Tikes playhouse drive up window has shutters on it that really work.

There is also a store and an ATM on the same side as the drive through. You can see the kids stop at the phone on one side of the house, and call their order in before they go to the drive through and pick it up.

On the inside of the playhouse, there is a pretend workshop and a kitchenette. The children come in to get the play tools when they want to work on their cars before taking a nice ride around the town. The children find adventures in every corner of the small town with the Little Tikes playhouse.
