Sometimes less is more as parents will appreciate with Crafty Kids Playhouses™ two new a-durable cardboard craft models – a pint-sized space shuttle and cozy cottage. Award-winning Crafty Kids has scaled down its playhouses to about 1/3 their original sizes and about 2/3 their price tag!
Designed by dads for their sturdiness, these smaller white cardboard structures are perfect to play with dolls or Whiskers (meow) for hours of endless creativity and imagination. Both the Creation Cottage and Shuttle Imagination are made of 100% recycled material and await a child’s finishing touch of crayons or markers to make it a one-of-a-kind playhouse. Each Craft Model will come with six washable, non-toxic, jumbo markers to get the creative juices flowing.
Crafty Kids Playhouses was previously known as Kids Craft Playhouses and has just been renamed to emphasize the fun eco-friendly craftiness of their full- and mini-sized playhouses. Playing with a cardboard box is nothing new, of course. But three fathers from Atlanta created Crafty Kids Playhouses products with the hard work already completed … flaps, slots and doorways are built in while leaving the exterior blank for kids to customize — at their own pace.
Crafty Kids Playhouses have been featured on The TODAY Show and several regional news segments. Since its spring debut earlier this year, the company has proudly earned three industry prizes – Tillywig 2010 Top Fun Award. Creative Child 2010 Seal of Excellence in the “Creative Play” category, and The National Parenting Center Spring 2010 Seal of Approval.
Now two new playdate fun items have been added to the Crafty Kids Playhouses roster.
Creation Cottage Craft Model •
Rainy days and Mondays were made for an arts & crafts project! Let kids whittle the hours away with their mini version of a cottage with a ready-made door, small window and chimney.
