I'm getting a garden playhouse for my toddler but wondering what things I can put inside?

We have just setup ours. She has table and chairs and ikea tubs on the wall full of colouring pencils, pens, paper etc. On the other side she has her kitchen and food. There’s a bean bag chair in the third corner. She’s using it as a craft cabin mainly at the moment

Here is the layout of the craft area. Ours has an upstairs too and up stairs there are lights, a mattress and bedding etc but we haven’t put the ladders on until she’s old enough to confidently get up and down so it is just storage at the moment

Ours is tiny but we have a plastic table and chairs, small kitchen with food and pans and a blanket box with cushions on for extra seating and storage of outdoor toys. Fabrics will go mouldy over winter so we remove curtains, bunting and cushions and replace in the spring. The kitchen also needs wiping down with bleach to remove mould after winter.

My son just has a cooker with sink and a big tub of playfood and cutlery. He plays for ages.

Wow that looks amazing @Sammy867
Is that the Ikea table & chairs? Just seen those on eBay, how much were they in Ikea?

Yes it’s an ikea table for £20 (with 2 chairs in that price as well). The bracket on the wall was £3 from ikea and tubs are £1 each from the kitchen section

We had a little tykes one, the kids used to take the little plastic garden chairs in. Dd used to take a toy broom and sweep she said it was dusty.

We hung an old phone on the wall. Then it could be used as a hospital/fire station/office whatever role play needed a phone call followed by emergency hang-up and jump into action scenario.
