There is hardly anything that captures their imagination and spirit as much. It can be their home, their castle, their school, their shop or anything that they desire it to be. If you are wondering how you can encourage your child to play more, and spend less time at the computer or in front of the television, one sure fire way to stimulate this is to buy or build a playhouse.

Purchasing an already completed play cottage can end up being quite expensive, especially if it is made from wood and it designed to look very authentic. A cheaper, one room cottage can cost anywhere from around $350 up, however if you are going for a more classic design such as the Victorian style or Queen Anne playhouses, complete with Plexiglas windows and chimney, expect to pay several thousand dollars. It is possible to order these online, and many companies offer free shipping which does help to keep the cost down a bit. They arrive un-assembled, as a kit, and need to be put together although most come with all the screws and other items needed to build them.

You will find that many children will be perfectly happy with a cheaper, one room, outdoor playhouse, without windows and all the trappings that the more expensive models have. They will still fire their imagination to the point that they will play happily for hours in their little ‘home’. The great thing about children is that they can easily fabricate all that is needed to transform a one room cottage into the finest, grandest castle there is.

If you are a handyman, another option is to build one. There are quite a few plans online with detailed, step by step instructions on how to go about building play houses. This is a great project for dad to take on with a little help from his son or daughter. It can be built as you have time, and even before it is finished it will provide hours of fun for your children.
