Smoby House On Stilts‍

This takes a plastic playhouse to another level... quite literally! This Smoby house is on stilts, so it is lifted off the ground, with a slide and steps to reach the playhouse making it that little bit more exciting. The bright colours also add to this excitement, along with the animals on the wall.

This playhouse has also been positively reviewed for durability. The UV resistant coating and treatment mean that the paintwork will last much longer, even if left out in the garden. It prevents the colours from fading and makes it look like a new buy for much longer.

Your child can pull up a chair in the porch, or make themselves a delicious mud pie in their own little kitchen. It's such a cool place that they might even want to sleep in it! This house is also good for more children to play with, as you can have some children playing outside the kitchen and a few others in the wendy house.

It is important to note that this must be treated or painted before it can be used outside.
