The first Christmas my precious baby was old enough to care about what was going on, she only wanted to play with the boxes. And as a young, new mother I thought that was really a shame.
(As an old, tired mother, I wish they still played with the boxes.)
Anyway, I know we’ve talked about some really fancy DIY cardboard playhouses here, and for me the killer is always that the shipping is super high (on top of the premium price for the item). So I’m totally digging this Discovery Kids Color Me Playhouse at Amazon for just $28 shipped. That’s a great price, and if they ever tire of it (would they?) just toss it in the recycling bin.
Alternatively, just buy yourself a nice new kitchen appliance and give the kids the box, I guess.
If you have on near you the exact same house is $14.99 at Christmas Tree Shop. I bought two this past weekend.
