A Wild Safari Adventure In A Kids Playhouse

Have your child go “wild” in a kids playhouse! Your child will be excited to see their playhouse transformed into a safari adventure, with the playhouse as the explorer’s base camp.  Your child’s outdoor play house is a perfect space for a safari adventure, from look-out posts to a lab center.  Try these following suggestions to creatively take your child on a safe and playful adventure:

First, locate rolls of paper in bright colors where children can tear off pieces to make life-sized images of safari animals. Second, go to your child’s story books or do research on the web to find pictures of lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras or hippo’s to draw.  Begin drawing the animals on the pieces of paper and have your child color the images and cut the drawings out.  You and your child can hang the drawings all over the playhouse, even hanging them on the ceiling, walls and windows.

Another fun option is to draw huge animal foot prints, like an elephant or Rhino, and put them outside the playhouse to pretend that the animals are on the loose!! However the images are drawn, traced, or cut out, be sure that they are really big for a more authentic safari experience.

Decorating the inside of a playhouse can be fun with you and your chid picking out animal print fabric for the window treatments to chair coverings. The more animal print stuff, the better.

Supply your child and his or her friends with a safari based scavenger hunt. Go through your child’s toy box and find some plastic and stuffed exotic animals.  Hide the animals around the playhouse for the scavenger hunt. They will have a blast looking for different animals along the way.

In a small area of the playhouse, create a lab bench using a small table with a microscope. This will allow your child to analyze the items that they find during their safari expedition.

Your child can be quite the adventurer in their kids playhouse, yet still be safe from all the “wild animals” loose outside.
