Few things evoke the timeless example of whimsicality, mythology and imaginative playtime as that of the classic toadstool. Specifically the Fly Agaric toadstool, this spotted red-and-white mushroom has been a common sight in today's culture for the last few centuries. Because of it's deep involvement in childhood stories and lore, it seemed only natural to turn it into a full sized playhouse with mythos to spare.
The Tremendous Toadstool playhouse was designed to parallel the "Amanita muscaria" mushroom, commonly associated with fairy-tales and gnomes. This colossal and fantastical, two-story model features almost surreal portions, amounting to 250ft² of interior space, with enough headroom for the tallest adults to stand straight up and move about with ease. Eleven window openings provide amble natural illumination, and fun details like a crooked stove pipe and embedded window awnings complete the package. Alongside it's smaller sibling, Paul's Toadstool playhouses bring the magic to your project!
