Every year when we were little my parents would buy one big gift for us kids. One year we got a McDonald’s Drive-Thru, another year there was a big kitchen set. As we got older we got things like TV’s and stereos. But we always got one major gift, I still continue the tradition with my kids. Last year our gift was a big Disneyland trip for Christmas and Kai got that Powerwheel she always wanted.
This year Brooklin is a whole year older and as both of our girls grow older we need to find gifts both of them can use. Especially when it comes to their one big joint family gift. I love companies like Little Tikes who offer year round play for kids. One of the best gift ideas is an outdoor playhouse. Little Tikes was kind enough to send my girls a Picnic n’ Playhouse. While we do live in Oregon we try to spend every day that it’s not raining outdoors playing.
Now at 18 months Brooklin loves the slide and what we love about the Picnic n’ Playhouse is that there’s the best of both worlds. A slide for Brooklin that’s small enough to allow her to actually play by herself and a playhouse, complete with table and chairs.
The table flips over and the chairs flip out so you can also use them outside the house. It makes the house that much more versatile. There’s a working outdoor light and telephone inside too. The playhouse is great for Kai and her friends but also gives Brooklin a place to play.Climb up the mini steps in the playhouse and you’re on the slide!
What’s unique about this playhouse is the slide can be detached from the house, and it also swings out to make the slide separate form the house.
What I find great about the Picnic n’ Playhouse is how easy it is for toddlers to have fun, but also allows for it to grow with your child by giving you a playhouse and a slide. Little Tikes offers so many gift ideas for Christmas from outdoor playhouses and swingsets to ride on toys your kids are sure to have fun year round with a gift from Little Tikes.

How fun! My three little grandkids would love it if we had this here at our home for them to play on! The kids would also love the Giddy-up N Go Pony. In addition, they’d love that Deluxe Kitchen and Laundry Center. Hum, maybe I could teach them to cook and clean while they play? Thanks for the chance to win! Blessings, Heidi
