5 Benefits of having a cubby house for your child

If you're looking for a way to encourage healthy, interactive, outdoor play away from screens and devices, then investing in a cubby house is a smart move. It’s a fantastic place for your child to explore their imagination and gives you a break while still being able to keep an eye on your kids.

1. It encourages active outdoor play

Cubby houses are a great way to get kids excited about going outside, and they can be the perfect base for a variety of outdoor activities. Interactive features such as slides, steps, and climbing walls are ideal for improving coordination and boosting activity levels, and perfect for younger children who aren't ready for full-size play equipment. 

2. It can help develop language and interpersonal skills

Cubbies are also a great place to learn how to get along with other kids. Whether your child is pretending to run a restaurant or playing a simple game of ‘family’, they're using all kinds of language and interpersonal skills as they play. For example, playing in the small timber house with others might mean learning to knock politely on the front door, sharing the toys, or taking turns being in charge. 

3. It can fuel imagination and facilitates role-playing games

Imaginative play is an integral part of any child’s development and can help kids develop cognitive and social skills in a safe environment. Allowing your child to have their own space will help their imaginations run wild. With a bit of imagination, a timber cubby can be a vet’s surgery, a café, or a castle. The possibilities for role-playing games are endless.

4. It gives you an easy way to spend quality time with your child

When you’re with your child in the cubby house, in a way, they’re inviting you into ‘their’ space. This role reversal can be great for development. You might even play a game where you’re the child, and they're the parent, which can help with empathy and understanding on both sides.

5. It provides a safe space for self-expression

While you probably don't want your child to start redecorating their bedroom, it's easy for them to personalise their cubby house with drawings, pillows and other simple accessories. This is perfect for growing kids developing their own sense of style and identity.
