Foldaway toy treehouse, castle or house

Counting_Pennies_2

I saw a lovely foldaway dolls house which can be carried about and also folded away with all the bits in side. I remember playing with one when I was little, but my friends have said it is probably a bit too girlie (I have a boy doll for him, and they have suggested not going over board on girlie toys, just in case!!!)

So with this in mind I am thinking of the treehouses that we used to have when we were little, the type that folded away with the toys inside. Does anyone still make these? I was hoping to get a new make, not a second hand 'vintage' toy.

If not a tree house does anyone know of anything else that might foldaway with the toys inside that can also be carried by a handle?

Thanks

it looks quite good.I also remember the old now "vintage " ones,(I'm 28) I remember one that they had a playgroup and I always wanted one.I considered getting one for my kids on Ebay, but they go for around £50. in good condition! I'm sure all the charity shops were full of them 10 years ago.Anyway heres one of the vintage ones on ebay, just to illustrate what I'm talking about.

Another toy which I have seen around( but never played with) is the teletubbies home hill, I think that has a carry handle and opens out.
Oh I just had another idea,my daughter got one of these for christmas(she's 2.5) and it's pretty cool,drawing with no mess,it has a carry handle, and 2 slide out trays with 4 stamper shapes and a roller pattern, she loves it and often has to wrestle it back off her older brothers.this is also available in pink. http://www.elc.co.uk/toy-33306

Thanks for your reply. Yes I saw these on Ebay, and I know I am being picky but I would sooner get a new one. I was wondering if any manufacturer makes anything similar.

The nearest I have found is Fisher Price Little People Farm House that folds away. But it isn't as good as the old Fisher Price House, which would be my ideal.

Such a shame I can't buy him the Little People House I have seen, but I guess I understand I shouldn't be making his toys too girlie!!

I wonder if any other toy manufacturer makes anything similar, has anyone else seen anything?

Thanks
