The tiny house movement has been a considerable force in the recent years, with individuals wishing to lessen their environmental footprint, focus on what's really important in their life and just save some money in the process. Coincidentally the characteristics of children's playhouses are quite similar to these structures, and thus it just makes sense for a tiny house playhouse to be available for the kids in your life as well.
The tiny house playhouse is designed to closely replicate the grownup version with scaled down dimensions appropriate for children aged 4-9. This plan allows for 9 total glass shed windows, and is slightly elevated to replicate the look of being on a trailer. Add in some wheels, lower front platform and trim work for a complete and cozy take on today's tiny house. Don't forget to also provide some transportation while you're at it.
