Life Skills Through Play

Hands-on learning through building a custom outdoor playhouse

Children gain hands-on skills when building playhouses like the Pine or Mahogany. They improve comprehension skills by following directions and learning to utilize tools. Children feel more confidence when they do DIY projects, whether they’re putting parts together or screwing them together. Additionally, participating in the construction of a playhouse teaches children the value of hard labor and patience.

Following instructions

Reading and following step-by-step instructions is an essential skill when building a playhouse. It’s a great opportunity to introduce children to new tools that will be useful for a lifetime, as well as explain safety rules, thus building confidence in their abilities.

Creative Expression and Responsibility

Once the playhouse is built, the decorating process can be left entirely in the hands of children. Whether they choose a color or add an object to the decor, it encourages creativity and self-expression. Taking care of the playhouse teaches children responsibility, as they complete tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and even tending to a small garden.

Building Confidence and Problem-Solving Skills

The process of helping to build and maintain a playhouse builds children’s confidence. They feel proud of their accomplishments, especially when they learn that they can do things on their own. What’s more, problem-solving skills come in handy when deciding how to arrange the interior of their home or entertaining guests.

Social Skills

A playhouse gives children a sense of independence. Children develop autonomy and how to interact with their environment while playing close to home. Hosting friends at their playhouse teaches children to be great hosts by sharing food, planning activities, and being considerate of their guests.

Conclusion

A custom outdoor playhouse is a valuable tool for teaching and practicing life skills. From construction to maintenance, kids learn independence, responsibility and creativity while having fun!
