Garden Play Houses Are A Firm Investment

Posted: Nov 03, 2009 | Comments: 0 | Views: 9 | Bookmark and Share

I have a picture of me sitting in my wooden train when I was six years old. My father used to build me garden play houses, trains, and forts. He was a skilled licensed contractor with a lot of spare wood around. He was not going to pay for play house when he could create and build his own. If you had a dad like me you know what I mean.

But unless you are like my dad, skilled and licensed to build things, you probably will go to your local store that specializes in garden play houses. With all of these electronic gizmos on the market which keep kids playing on their computer or in front of their televisions a play house is a great idea. Is the complaint about kids video games over? Have parents simply given up the fight against violent video games?

Have parents surrendered to the video game manufacturers? Or have they no alternative to these games of killing and mayham? Give your children what they want, a chance to use their imagination. Do this and you will not have to wrest the video game out of their hands. Kids choose video games because no one is offering anything else to them. Change that.

A playhouse provides your kids the chance to own their own house. Your little girl can have her friends by for a tea party. Your son can have his own library of his favorite reads. He can have a desk where he might write his first short story. Today play houses come with roofs that do not leak. They have safety glass windows to keep out the bugs. For your kids there is a kid door in front and an adult door on the side for you to visit.

There are a variety of styles to choose from. You can have a Victorian style house or one that looks like it belongs on the shores of Cape Cod. Or you can customize your garden play house to even look like your actual house.

Pride of ownership is what you have in your home right? Well, believe it or not a play house provides your child with pride of ownership. You are actually him or her build responsibility. He or she now has his own home to take care of.

I remember that when I had my own play house I was happy to invite my friends over and see it. We spent time in there just as if it was my own home. But what difference was that compared to what we as adults do in our own homes? A play house is simply done on a smaller scale.

Compared to killing and destroying on a video game, garden play houses are a great buy. Give your children an opportunity to get ready for their future. Give them a house they can learn to appreciate and learn to take care of and learn to be proud of. Who knows someday when they own their first real sized house they will thank you for preparing them for the reality of home ownership.
