A Kids Playhouse For Squinkies

Here's a kids playhouse for Squinkies!  Haven't heard about Squinkies? It's the must-have Christmas gift for kids 4 to 10 years old.  My 7 year old daughter agrees that the Squinkie Gumball Surprise Playhouse is a lot of fun. 

One thing to be aware of is the playhouse door isn't sturdy and can come off its hinges.  Other than that, the kids absolutely love this playhouse. 

If you want to learn more, I've included a link (full disclosure, it's an affiliate link).

Taylor Swift Loves A Kids Playhouse

If you're a Taylor Swift fan, you'll be interested to know that her condo is decorated in a kids playhouse theme (full post link).

“My philosophy was just ‘Why not?’ So why not make it like a pirate ship?" 

“The ceiling is like the sky at night and I guess it is just very artsy and I didn’t really want to make it like a condo. I just wanted to make it like a playhouse. I like it and that’s the main thing.”

A Spooky Halloween Kids Playhouse

I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of a kids playhouse decorated for Halloween? 

I remember when I was growing up, one weekend night around Halloween, my sisters and I had a slumber party in our playhouse.  We had decorated our playhouse with pumpkin lights, crepe paper skeletons, big black fake spiders, and lots of spider webs.  It was really creepy but fun. Of course, during the night we told ghost stories, got really scared and ended up not sleeping in the playhouse!
