We have quite a bit of space in our front and backyard, but we rent our house, so we can't make any major changes to the landscape. I wanted to have a little playhouse for my two younger daughters that could be moved from place to place. So I decided to create a little, sturdy cardboard playhouse that could be stored in the garage, but easily moved out into the yard.
Our local Sears Appliance store had a pile of large, sturdy cardboard with a sort of honeycomb shaped core. A couple of rolls of silver duct tape and a few simple line drawings and the girls have a pretty nice little house. It is super light weight and easy to move and it actually stays pretty cool in the HOT Mississippi spring/summer.
Thanks Adrienne!

What cuties-- great idea. :)
My family had a store and many happy hours of play with my cousins started by hauling home a wagon load of boxes.
No grown-ups required or wanted.
This is so great-- what kid doesn't love to play in big boxes? And there's a lot with this version for grown-ups to love, too! :)
The peaked roof is genius!
Love it.
