When my kids can use their imagination with play, and step into creativity...I am all for it! I was recently sent a really fun Playhouse for my kids to explore, decorate, color/marker, and make their own. (I helped a little) KidsCraft Playhouses: made from 100% recycled materials, are cardboard playhouses that fit 2-3 kids. I was sent the Shuttle Imagination to review, and my kids were thrilled! The Shuttle came in one large box, and the set up only took a little while. I like how the cardboard is sturdy...because my kids are busy, and they need something that will hold up to their test.
Here is a picture of my little guy, Cole age 1, entering the spaceship. Cole was so excited about going inside to be with his sister. He loved just going in and out.
As you can see, my daughter loved the Shuttle Imagination, too! She was so excited and could barely wait for me to put it together. She loved looking through the holes, which were designed like space shapes: circles, stars, flying rocks, etc.
Easily the Shuttle Imagination holds 2-3 kids comfortably. I love that the KidsCraft Playhouses are built for more than one child, because kids love to play together.
Peek-a-boo Madelyn! She loved looking out at her brothers. Isn't she cute?
Here is Caleb looking out, he loved this new playhouse, too. Here is his design around his face that he decorated. I think that the KidsCraft Playhouse is a great place for kids to let out their creativity and draw all over something (that is OK) and they can make it their own. I also love that this playhouse is already ready for kids to play in, you just need to assemble it for them. I have made many play houses out of card board boxes, and it is tough getting scissors through the card board, and it doesn't always look that great. However, the KidsCraft Playhouses are designed with saving the parent's time in mind (in my opinion).
The kids all had a great time coloring, thinking, drawing, and picking just the right colors for their Shuttle. It was fun to see them so hard at work.
I love Caleb's person on the side of the Shuttle. :) It is just precious to me...
I highly recommend the KidsCraft Shuttle Imagination to you. I was thrilled with this product, and my kids absolutely love it. This makes for a great indoor project when it is raining or snowing out...and my kids have so much fun in it all the time. (especially when I am making dinner).
*KidsCraft offers two designs: Shuttle Imagination ($69.95) and Creation Cottage ($59.95).
The Shuttle Imagination measures 39”L x 34”W x 72”H. Fin attachments are 12” long.
About the creators:
Two dads and a grandfather from Atlanta got a first hand look at how the cardboard box captures a child’s way of thinking. While packing up their financial services business, moving from one office to another, their kids tagged along. Although the fathers brought along playthings like coloring books and crayons for the 3 to 7 year olds, it was the empty boxes that captivated the youngsters. The dads saw the sparks of a business and KidsCraft Playhouses was born.

I think it's interesting that they also sell natural soy crayons on their website. Those would work great for decorating the playhouses.

I just wanted to say I love Maddie's excitement...
This would be great at a wedding to entertain the kid's!
I love that it is sturdy cardboard, easy for the kids to color on then, and much more fun to play in without having it wobbleing all over the place.
Love the soy crayons! (they accidently eat it, and they're getting a little extra protein in for the day. : )
These at a wedding could really sell these I bet! People may want to have them at birthday parties, summer BBQ's in the backyard to keep the kid's busy, graduation parties...a lot of people may not even know these are available!
What a way for kid's to express their individual style and creativity as they create their very own "lil kiddie abode". They can really call it their very own first home! May start some thinking of future architechtural work...hmmm
I love that it let's the children explore their creativity. How fun! I am crossing my fingers for this one, my son would love this. How fun to be able to decorate it yourself.

I like that they come undecorated. I think helping my daughter decorate a house would be a lot of fun for both of us!

I love the little house, and decorating it in any way their little minds want!
I would love them to make other types of these! I bet they could get creative with a lot of different types...
Siblings could really bond with this, because all ages can put their creativity into it!
glitter, poffy paint, ribbons, rhinstones...you could really put a lot into this!
Again, awesome idea for a WEDDING!!!ADVERTISING FOR IT TOO!!!
