Toadstool Playhouse Plan

If you were to encounter a giant sublime toadstool out in the wild, you would either think you have recently got a lot shorter or you'd be guaranteed the first prize at the country fair.  When you build the 7x7 Toadstool Playhouse, both may just come true for that special little one in your life.

This cute and effervescent mushroom stylized playhouse looks like it came straight out of a Alice in Wonderland and will certainly add a whimsical ambiance to your backyard!  Great for kids aged from 2-8, this easy to build clubhouse is both fun to build and play in!

If your child relates to fungi more by avoiding sunlight and staying inside all day, we also offer an indoor mushroom playhouse plan.  Hopefully you accidentally confuse the two.
