Gift Idea for Your Toddler – Playhouse Tent:  We just ordered the “Pacific Play Tents Cottage House” for my 14-month-old daughter for a Christmas present (from grandma)!  I am proud to say that my little girl has just entered the phase in her life where she loves forts.  This is fantastic news for me, because building/playing-in forts is one of my greatest passions in life (because I’m still seven-years-old deep down).

Admit it:  Reading a book in a fort with a flashlight when it’s dark outside is the funnest way to read a book.  Playhouses are basically semi-permanent forts.  What I like about the playhouse that I ordered is that I’ll be able to see my little one through the windows to keep an eye on her.  It’s also a quick and easy set-up and take-down (according to the reviews).

The Coolest Part: there is room for mommy inside the playhouse!

The Playhouse We Bought:  We chose the “Pacific Play Tents Cottage House” because it has great reviews on Amazon.com (cost: $70), but there are a ton of other fun little playhouses out there too, including gender-neutral or playhouses that are geared more towards boys.

Here a link to the playhouse if you want to take a peak:  Pacific Play Tents Cottage House.
