Rapunzel's Tower Playset Plan・2-Sizes

Turn your backyard into a fairy-tale adventure with the Rapunzel Tower Playset Plan! This charming tower playhouse is straight out of a popup storybook, perfect for kids who love to dream, climb, and imagine. With its tall, whimsical shape and playful details, the Deluxe version is a true showstopper; complete with curving lines, ornate trim, and even a lookout tower for dramatic rescues or royal announcements.
