Not everyone can afford a $300 playhouse. If you want to settle for something far less and yet, is of good quality, look at the Step2 Neat & Tidy Cottage. It is not necessary to get a really large playhouse if you feel it is a toy that would be quickly outgrown or all you have is just a kid or two. This cottage is just of the right size to be able to accommodate two young kids comfortably and if this is sufficient for you, then why spend a lot more than necessary?
The Selling Points
One good thing about the Step2 Neat & Tidy Cottage is that it has a molded-in floor. In fact, not many playhouses have this feature, especially the plastic ones. Having a floor makes the playhouse seems more realistic and it also encourages your kids to keep it clean like a real home. When they are playing inside the cottage, they also don’t end up on the ground with dirt all over.
The other selling point for this playhouse is its open design concept. You can look in from all four sides, unlike other enclosed playhouses. If your kids are still young and require supervision, it is only natural that you would want to settle for something that allows you to easily keep an eye on them. Furthermore, cleaning is also easier if you can reach in from all sides.
Drawback Of The Step2 Neat & Tidy Cottage
The features of this playhouse is pretty standard with a faucet, burner, doorbell, electronic phone and mail slot. In other words, there is nothing extra that you can expect from this to provide your kids with more variety of play. Therefore, if you are looking for more fancy features to keep your kids entertained, this is not the playhouse to get.
However, it does have a molded-in kitchen table and two seats. This makes it convenient for your kids to sit down and have snacks in the Neat & Tidy Cottage, which they will love to do.
Conclusion
This playhouse is just nice for those with a small backyard given its size. It is also an affordable playhouse which suits those who are on a budget. If all you are looking for is a standard playhouse without all the bells and whistles, then you can’t really go wrong with this cottage with its gender-neutral colors.
