Build a Dream Playhouses.com™ Review & Giveaway

 Build a Dream Playhouses
 Did you love to play pretend and day dream as a child of all
the fun things you could do or be?

Did you dream of being a princess or fighting dragons? 

Whatever your dream may have been this fun company has
created a fun way to make that dream a little more real life
with some creative playhouses to help you act out and pretend
with your kids and their fun dreams and help them pretend
they are even more real! 

We received the Pop N' Play Castle to review and have had oodles 
of fun coloring and decorating it together. I love to let my kids use
their own imaginations and let them color and paint to their hearts
desire. The way they want it, not the way Mom or Dad want it! 

Lots of jumping, yelling "yes, yes, yes" and smiles filled the room
when we opened the big mysterious box!

With in seconds the crayons were out and the whole night revolved 
around decorating and coloring this fun cardboard castle!  
 (it was crazy hair day at school..in case you were wondering 
whats up with the fabulous, unusual and silly hair dos!)
The Castle has one side designed with bricks and other
objects to color as well as pop out parts to make window sills
tables, and doors. The kids loved the idea, layout and the
fact that they got to color & decorate it themselves!
It was fun listening to them talk to each other and comment on
how well they were doing as well as giving each other ideas
for other ways they could decorate. After a break for dinner
and showers they couldn't wait to start on it again.
 
 It was quick and easy to set up and be ready to play 
with. The opposite side from the white patterned one is
just your regular cardboard color. They didn't seem to care. 
 
 They made a whole new look to it with pictures they drew
of princesses, an end table and lamp as well as a clock. 
Super creative and super cute! It would be fun if that side
was white as well, just so you are able to see it better.
 
 The Castle has been sitting in our front living room for
three days, new things and ideas continually being added. 
Its really been alot of fun!
After a few days I moved it downstairs into the playroom. 
It was very light and easy to move and even more awesome is if you
want to put it up and out of the way for a little bit, it easily folds flat 
for convenient storage! 

Your kids would love a Valentine's as cool as this! Check out their
website and tell me what one you would love to have for them!!!

A little more about them from their site:

In collaboration with the world famous Nottingham-Spirk Design Associates, a group of 3 to 9 year old children, and the Smurfit Stone Container Corporation, Build a Dream Playhouses™ is now proud to introduce to you what we believe to be the most innovative, fresh, and fun playhouses on the market.

    I learned "the products are manufactured from 80% recycled materials that result in an end product that is 100% recyclable and the distribution center is located only 38 miles away from the manufacturer, which drastically reduces the fuel consumption required to ship the products." Yay for thinking Green!!
    I am honestly torn between the Pop n Play Castle and the Pop n Play Kitchen.

  80. Following you via GFC

    After visiting the playhouse website I found the company to be very "eco-friendly" and of course the fact that they donate is amazing... besides they are one company that is definitely helping to stimulate children's imagination in a innovative, yet "old school" way... I remember making cardboard boxes into forts any chance I got, and I LOVED it!!!

    I would probably get my daughter the Snack Shack!
