HTM -- Kit's Tree House (Lots of Photos)

Kit's (retired) Tree House (AG $250) is the perfect place for Kit to play with her friends. It's a wooden tree house big enough for two dolls, with a faux stained-glass window that opens and a balcony big enough for Kit to stand on. A pretend oak tree supports the house and a chandelier made of multicolored beads hangs from the ceiling. Accessories include Kit's lantern with glow-in-the-dark lightning bugs inside, self-adhesive photos of Kit’s heroes to decorate the “Member-o-belia” wall and a rope with  a bucket to lift Kit’s dog, Grace, up to the balcony. It's HUGE!

 Dimensions: W: 36" x H: 37" x D: 23" 

 

***********************************

My tree house is made from cardboard. 

Dimensions: W: 15" x H: 24" x D: 18"

I covered a box with contact paper, cut out a door and a window then framed both with popsicle sticks. 

 Using left over cardboard I cut out a railing for the balcony then secured it to the tree house using hot glue.

 

 I added the asymmetrical roof using foam board and more hot glue then painted it gray.

 I painted the window frame white and added more glue sticks to the pitch on the roof.

 I used felt for flooring. 

I used a sharpie to draw details on the roof.

 Its lightweight, sturdy and cost $2 to make. I got the box free and already had the paint and popsicle sticks from previous projects. It's not EXACT; its smaller and it doesn't have a tree trunk but it's a fun structure to take pictures and for the girls to hang out together. See the VIDEO.
