    when mine were little I could not afford
    a play house and there were no good
    secondhand buys around.I bought mine
    a two man tent,they loved it and it proved
    to be very popular,loads of room inside
    and they could stand up in it,it became
    a house,wigwam,fort even a ball pool
    plus all the other out doors toys used to
    fit inside when not in use.It only cost
    £9.99 in somerfields and it stood up
    to all weathers.more popular than anything
    else we ever bought

    There is a deal on at Argos, playhouse, slide and sand table for about £68
    Plus they are selling the Tulip playhouse in Toys R us at £59.99, £20 off :)
    I want to get one for my toddler too- he loves them, but can't justify spending that sort of money outside of a birthday- so am selling off all his 'big' toys he doesn't play with to replace it with a playhouse- maybe you culd do something like this too to reduce the cost?

    If you can stretch to it I would buy a small wooden one like this http://www.waltons.co.uk/playhouses-and-outdoor-toys/playhouses/waltons-snug-playhouse-4x4 rather than a plastic one as generally the wood ones tend to be taller and your child will be able to stand up in it longer than a plastic one.

    I agree with Rosekitten my kids have a 2 storey playhouse which they use often, however when we put a tent up in the garden they go mad & love it. Last summer we left a cheap 3 man tent up all summer & after a few weeks of rain I thought it would be soaking inside, but it was adry as anything which goes to prove that you don't have to buy a really expensive one. Also you can take it down if you have people over for a bbq or during the winter when it probably won't get used much.
