Card Table Playhouse Review & Giveaway!!

Congratulations to the giveaway winner ~ Heather Thomas!

I think it’s every child’s dream to have the perfect playhouse … a place to escape, relax and let imaginations run wild! While my kids are generally content with a thrown together chair-and-blanket “fort,” I can only imagine how their eyes would light up if I was able to quickly put up a card table and transform it into an amazing playhouse. Since I’m no seamstress, I’ll have to rely on the talents of Julie, the owner from my new favorite Etsy shop: My First Playhouse!

Playhouse Collage

Julie made her first Little Red Playhouse (which was recently featured on the Today Show) nearly 15 years ago for her nieces, and she immediately fell in love with creating these little houses. She also recognized how important imaginative play is for kids’ development.

As Julie puts it, “Children are naturally drawn to the magical art of make believe. But, did you know it’s more than just fun? Creating a make believe space, playing dress up, and reenacting stories can play key roles in child development. My playhouses and toys encourage your child to dream and imagine and grow through play.”

Farmstand Playhouse

With a five star rating and more than 1,200 positive reviews, you can trust that Julie’s work is top quality. She traces each applique onto paper, adheres it to felt and carefully cuts it out (surprisingly her favorite part of playhouse making)! Each playhouse is made to order, and comes with a storage bag so you can fold it up and store it when not in use. She also happily accepts custom orders and color changes. These beautiful playhouses are worth every penny, and will be treasures your children will remember always!

In addition to card table playhouses, Julie offers adorable play teepees. Her Tip Top Teepee Shop is full of even more products your kids will love! You can choose from a variety of fun fabrics and tie back options, and teepees are shipped with four smoothly sanded poles for easy set up. I’m not sure if I love the playhouses or teepees more?!?

Teepee

If you’ve fallen in love with these playhouses as much as I have, then you’ll be excited about a chance to win one! A very lucky ‘Or so she says …’ reader will win their choice of the Pirate Hideout Card Table Playhouse or the Double Delight Card Table Playhouse!!

    My favorites are The Around the House Playhouse and the black and white striped tepee.

  10. Kim says

    I am in LOVE with all of these, but I think I’d go with either the sweet shop or the farm stand.

  14. Connie says

    because i have a daughter that insists she’s a pirate, i’d have to say that pirate one that might be given to her! 😉

  17. Lisa Hathaway says

    Wow, I don’t know how to just pick one. I love the pirate ship playhouse, the basic bungalow, the train … the teepees are awesome … WOW. So much talent. I would love to have one for my daughter.

  18. Anita says

    I don’t know, they are all darling! Just when I thought ‘ I love this one, I’d scroll down and see another cute one!

  33. Miranda Gillespie says

    I love ALL of them! But I’m fairly partial to the pirate play houses.

  35. julie says

    While I love the veggie stand, my son is constantly pretending to be a pirate so I’d have to go with that one.

  46. Traci Brazil says

    Oh my you are right! Just one:) I think they are all cute and creative but my grandson would love the pirate!

  51. Heather Clark says

    Any of the card table playhouses, especially those that would work for both and boy and a girl. Cute product!

  60. Jackie says

    Either the train station, or the one with the fire truck or dump truck. My 2 year old is obsessed with trucks!

  61. Joanna says

    Love the cupcakery. My daughter loves to help me in the kitchen so I have a feeling she would love that.

  62. Joanne says

    I love the little farm stand. My girls would play with that for hours!! well maybe the pink house too! all so adorable!

    But I liked the car wash myself.
    She needs to make an ice cream stand too!

  76. Brittany says

    Love these! I have been wanting one for my kids for a few years now… Love the Fire Station or the Pirate Adventure! 🙂

    Tough choice! I’d have to say any of the playhouses that involve food; the farm stand, cupcakery, etc.

  90. Joni Roberts says

    Wow this is such a hard decision!! I love them all but my choice would be the Pirate adventure!! Or a navy and white striped teepee! Or….. They are all so lovely!!

  95. Krystal D says

    I love Julie’s work. I’ve been a facebook fan of hers for a long time, I love seeing her creative side come out. My favorite is her cupcakery. My girls love playing cupcakes and tea. This is so great. I also love the new teepees. So cute!

  98. Noelle C. says

    I love so many of them. If I had to decide one, I think the pet shop one looks really fun.

    I love the pirate one… I have wanted one of these since my 3 year old son was born. They look like so much fun!

  121. Tiffany Robbins says

    I think they are all so cute. My son would love the pirate one. My two daughters would love the pink one. I think this is such a cute idea. My kids just started to do card table tents a lot. I would love to only have one thing to pick up instead of all the blankets they use when they make there tents now. Thanks.

  123. Mary says

    These are the BEST playhouses I have even seen, how to pick just one? I think I like the cottage ones the best.
