When most of us remove a tree from the backyard, the trimmings are hauled away without a second thought. Not so, though, for Childhood 101 founder, Christie. She used some of the branches to create an awesome toy treehouse:

The result is a wonderful wooded paradise for wild animal toys, large and small. The monkey has a swing, the tiger has a place to climb, and the giraffe can see eye-to-eye the treehouse's uppermost inhabitants. Love it!
