A Children’s Outdoor Playhouse

Today it is a children’s outdoor playhouse and when the children’s interests change with the passing years the outdoor playhouse may be used as a studio for music, art, studying, and much more. After the children have left home to seek their fame and fortune, it most likely will become a shed for storage, hobbies, or activities.

Imagination:

The playhouse which you build for your children becomes a building to be filled with a world of imagination. The children will make up stories and play act their way through their inventive thinking. It is their haven to be who they want to be in a world of magic and make believe.

Building a playhouse is not a wasted endeavor. The imaginings of your children may result in the invention of future products or other humanitarian needs and services for a better world to live in.

The elementary years:

In the children’s early years you can have the outside of the playhouse built as a gingerbread house, a palace, or a log cabin. Listen to the desires of your children. They can tell you exactly what their building needs to be.

Woodworking:

The children offer the fantasy and you follow through with your woodworking skills. Choose any wood which is suitable for your shed building project. I recommend building with wood because it makes remodeling easier.

Wood is also more cost effective because of its longevity and being able to recycle into other needs. As the children change with the years they will want more space and other changes made according to their interests and activities.

As a woodworking craftsman you are probably aware of the availability of many plans available for a children’s outdoor playhouse.

Let the children place their toys, books, games, arts and crafts, and furniture as they would like to have it. I know you will be tempted to include your desires, but this is their playhouse. Do help by building shelves, tables, and chairs or other support items which may be needed for their supplies.

Teenage years:

Within a short period of time they will become teenagers. Careful planning with the original plans will make the transition easy. The interior may be replaced to accommodate new interests such as weekend pajama parties, listening to music, playing video games, hanging out with their friends, or having study sessions. The exterior will change to a more sophisticated appearance.

College years:

During the college years the interior and the exterior of the outdoor playhouse will change again to include new adult interests. If attending a local college or returning home on school breaks this building now becomes a place to study, a studio for a budding artist, or other interests.

Young adults:

The children, now adults, are living their independent lives. This building will become a shed design of your choosing to serve your needs and desires.

The parents:

You have gained much woodworking experience building and remodeling the children’s outdoor playhouse and now it is your building to serve your interests and activities.

Put your imagination to work remodeling the building into a standard storage building, a garden shed, a hobby house, a man cave, or a retreat.
