Building a playhouse

We have a small space in the playroom that goes under the stairs. Jon had the wonderful idea of building a playhouse there. We decided that Saturday was the perfect day for this. We spent all day building this cute little playhouse for the kids. And the best part is that it only cost us $10 for a 2x4 and a couple of hinges. We used an old kids cabinet that we were storing in the garage to make the door, window, and wall. We worked together and got it done in one day, I even used the drill to screw the door on. This was such a fun project and the kids love it! It is their store, house, drive-up, restaurant, anything they can imagine.




Calvin helped out with his very own saw and of course he was wearing his Home Depot apron.

You two are so creative and frugal! I wish I could learn all of your secrets so that our kids can have as much fun as yours...
