So, over the holidays I happened to bump into one of these cardboard playhouses while out shopping. I had seen them around before online but was always reluctant to purchase because, well, they looked cheap and I didn’t think they’d last very long. But my friends, “cheap” has its purpose. It’s been just about a month since we bought one for the kids for Christmas and they love it! And guess what? So do I. Not only have the kids creatively colored the outside of the house, but my 5 y/o even created a photo wall inside. The imagination runs rampant with these wonderful blank canvases. But the best part is that when it does get too dilapidated all I’ll have to do is put it in recycling. Love that! — Haydee
