Something magical happens when a child sees a beautifully made teepee or playhouse. Their eyes light up and their smiles appear! "Wow, look at that cool little house". "Wow, that's a great teepee!" You can almost see their imaginations come to life.
"Let's play house! You be the mom, I'll be the Dad!" "Let's play castle! You be the princess, I'll be the prince!" Sound familiar? If you have children, you probably hear these things all the time. These conversations are among the happiest memories I have of my kids!
Children are naturally drawn to the magical art of make believe. But, did you know it's more than just fun? Creating a make believe space, playing dress up, and reenacting stories can play key roles in child development. My playhouses, teepees, and toys encourage your child to dream and imagine and grow through play.
20 years ago, when my nieces were young, I designed and created my popular Little Red Playhouse. I started selling on Etsy and turned my beloved hobby into my own successful business. Now, I work in my studio every day, creating a world filled with wonder for all of our children! My own children are adults now, but they grew up with The Playhouse Kid and they are still pursuing wonder in college, with our son studying astrophysics/physics and our daughter as an extraordinarily talented art major.
The Playhouse Kid has been featured, among others, on the Today Show, Babble, Canadian Family Magazine, Simplicity Pattern Catalogs, HGTV's House Hunters International, Fashion Fusion Magazine, as well countless blogs.
