Fun and recyclable children's forts for indoor and outdoor play
Kids love having a place of their own to explore, imagine and play. These playhouses are a great way to let their imagination run wild, while also being gentle on the environment. Whether they're made from sustainable wood, recyclable cardboard or fabric, they're great toys for kids that can be passed on to the next generation or easily recycled. — Maddie from Li'l Magoolie
