My children are incredibly lucky; since they were small, having a mum who sells toys and crafty stuff has meant they have had opportunities to try out all manner of things. It is possible that the new Velcro Kids House is the best thing ever though 🙂 They’ve decorated, they’ve performed with it and they’ve played in it and not only is it still standing, but even the big ones agree it is great and produced a video to show you just how easy it is to put together 🙂
Decorating it was agreed to be excellent fun and the cardboard is great quality, smooth and strong, so felt tips worked really well on it. Poster paints would be good too I think; it is certainly thick enough card not to go soggy.
It even performed with them in the play they did last week, featuring as the house that dropped on the Wicked Witch’s sister when Dorothy arrived from Kansas. It didn’t seem to have any trouble staying together despite being picked up and whirled around 😆
The Velcro Kids Create Your Own Playhouse gets a full on thumbs up from us here and will definitely be sticking around. (STICKING around… geddit? 😉 )
If you’d like to win a Velcro Kids Play House, RRP ??39.95, leave a comment and one winner will be chosen using a number randomiser.

Disclosure: Our long term business contact, DKL, sent us a playhouse to review free of charge and are also supplying the prize. My children were not coerced into having fun with it. I may have made the rehearse the video once or twice… 😉
Ah well worth a shot I suppose – Robyn and Lola would love it!
There, and I’ve shared the link on Facebook 🙂
This is amazing! I saw a cardboard castle you could play in but once it was up it was up, if that makes sense so not much good as we live on a boat and space is limited. But one that could
be put up and down at will be would be excellent, Sophia and her friends would love it!
This looks great!- the video was fun too 🙂
I’ve Facebook linked it too x
Looks like great fun .. my little brood would love to win this!
And it’s Facebooked too
And Tweeted :~)
Oooh looks like a great idea. Gabs would love one of them.
Looks great fun – all my kids (even the biggest) had great fun playing with a cardboard rocket at a local art gallery (similar idea but rocket shaped rather than house shaped!!!) – now where would it fit???
What a fantastic house! Is this giveaway open to US readers? If so, I would love to win it for my kiddos, they would have a blast with it!
Maryanne, i am sorry, I didn’t think to say that – but I’m pretty sure there is no way this would make it safely across. I suspect the dimensions would be too big anyway but although it’s strong, I just don’t think it would survive the battering of airfeight.
Love the video. We would love a house like that, looks like great fun. x
Looks fab ! Have tweeted :0)
