...he makes straight for the little tikes playhouse in the playground and makes his feelings known when I try to extricate him! Although I knew I wanted a playhouse which would stand the test of time, I was unsure whether to buy one made of wood or plastic. The wooden ones we looked at were lovely but very expensive. In addition a friend told me that her children have had several splinters from their wooden house. We checked out various plastic models ... ...market. We have several other little tikes’ toys (see my op on the cozy coupe) and have always been very happy with them.
Little tikes are an American company and have been making toys since 1970.They have an impressive track record and have won many awards. Their toys are all made of bright chunky plastic, are very strong and extremely safe. I don’t intend to write any more about the company or the huge range of toys they make. If you would like ...

Advantages: Hours Of Fun Disadvantages: No Seating
...usual places and found the Little Tykes Cottage in Toys R Us at the time it was £159.99 which was perfect but before rushing into purchasing it I thought I would check online to compare prices. I was in luck and on EBay I found one locally in new condition and for collection only. I stuck in my maximum bid of £80 and was very happy when I won it for £25 not a bad saving in anyone's book.
When I went to collect it was in pieces so I was a bit dubious ... ...stove and sink ideal for little ones who enjoy to help in the kitchen and a cordless phone which has since been lost that attaches to the wall with a little note book shelf underneath. I struggled to find anything wrong with it other than the fact that there is no seating inside but did find a perfect little table and chair set from Ikea that fitted reasonably snuggly. The roof is pointed but still does not allow much room for maneuver.

Advantages: Encourages imaginative play, kids like it Disadvantages: Bit pricey now, weathers
Little Tikes are a well known American manufacturer of children's toys for indoor and out. This particular item is a small cottage (1.27m x 1.14m x1.31m) with 3 shuttered windows, a front door, a sink and hob, phone and a small corner table. This cottage has been a staple toy in our garden for the past three years, I say in our garden but actually in that time we have had three different gardens, and this house has made the two moves with us. Through ... ...icecream shop, a doctor's and latterly is often used by children to play "school". Sometimes it is even played with as a house - in any event it is a great source of imaginative outside play and universally popular with any visitors. The cottage is made of moulded plastic and comes in a large cardboard box that would require delivery. The instructions say that assembly is a two person job, however I did manage to put it up by myself singlehandedly ...

Advantages: good for imaginative play Disadvantages: ?
A little house to play in.
When we visited Mead open farm Adrian played in their play area one of the toys he liked was a playhouse. It was the country cottage made by little tikes costs £159 including delivery from the little tikes web site. This playhouse would be suitable for children between the age of 2 to maybe 6 or 7 it is not a very tall not a large playhouse so I think older children would be too big for it. The measurements are 131cm/ ... ...smiled a lot.
Little tykes make a range of playhouses starting at £99 for a small plastic house to £249 for a log cabin
I have seen these little houses at many a playgroup or nursery they seem good very robust easy to clean with hot soapy water should they need it.
All children love a den/house a place to call their own. This one would be suitable for a play/toddlers group or nursery as it is very robust strong to take a little abuse.. Seeing ...

Advantages: cheap and well made Disadvantages: none
this little play house is designed for children aged 2 plus but is a bit on the small size so i think it will only do untill they are about seven years old which isnt bad realy concidering i only paid £130 for it which is relatively cheap compared to the price of other play houses.
The house arrived unassembled and takes two people to put it together but it is quite easy to do and wot take longer than 30 minutes.
The house itself is made of a realy ... ...while and it is prity good at not fading in the sun, i have had ours two years now with no fading.
The holes in the doors and the windows not being a tight fit when closed does mean that rain magages to get inside but as there is no base this easily drys into the ground.
I would seriously recomend putting this house on slabs rather than grass otherwise you will have a muddy mess inside and your grass will die.
My daughter loves this house and ...
