Are cubby houses useless?

Answered 3 years ago

Please be honest with me. About to spend $500 on a second hand one. Do you kids play with it? Would hate to spend that sort of money and see it rot in the backyard, unused. Thanks :-)

Ours makes a very expensive but handy place to stare their bikes and scooters. I think the dogs use it more than the kids do

Cubby houses are awesome. Ours was fairly big. We even had sleep overs out there on the weekends. It was so much fun. Go for it. Great investment.
Now we are adults with our own kids, Mum & Dad have taken it off the stumps & turned it into a garden shed.

Total waste of money. My kids enjoyed it for minimal time. Luckily i got a bargain and sold it off and got my money back

Depends on the space and type. We have a simple one we won and it got payed with hardcord for a few weeks, and that’s it. We don’t have the back,yard really etc, so for us it wasn’t really worthwhile

I think it depends on the kid, but I think they are good. Just make sure it's big enough to grow with them, I've seen people spending heaps on fancy ones that only last a couple years as they are toddler size.

Agree with this. Get a decent sized one and it will be used for years.

Haha my kids are well and truly tall kids so I don’t know if they’d enjoy it the same? Even if I got a big one!

My cousins had one. As younger kids we were in there all the time playing. As older 12 year olds we were still in there. It was our club house and our escape from adults. We loved it. We’d share secrets, say swear words and make plans for the future. Absolutely loved it. Get one!

Cubby houses are great! We put a platform and a little ladder up in to a big tree - gets used all the time! Youngest is 3 and eldest is 10 😊

Hi mate, best investment you will make, ever! We built one around 4 years ago. Our children were 2 and 4 at the time. They still love it. Its their space. It's like a man cave but junior version. You wont regret it. Think playing spies, nerf fort wars, hot chocolates with blankets and cushions when its cold. Sometimes i hide in there too. With wine 😊
