And accessed through a working front door, or opened up at right angles to allow extra play space.<\/strong>\n\nIt&#8217;s more pricey than other kid&#8217;s playhouses on the market, but I&#8217;d rather pay more for a quality product that will last.\n\nThis is made from durable nylon fabric, and the exterior is screen printed to resemble a quaint country cottage, with climbing roses, and shuttered windows. It even comes with its own mini-cooker. My daughter just loves climbing inside, and playing house. I loved the fact she was being creative, and using her imagination.\n\nThe Dream Town set also includes a general store, and a garage, so if you have the space you could build an entire village. There&#8217;s even a range of accessories, from mini household appliances, to pet dogs, and even a kid-sized convertible car.\n\n<strong>Jacqui Paterson, 36, full-time mum, London<\/strong>\n\nRating:\u00a05\/5\u00a0Available from:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/Argos.aspx?t=lwk\">Argos<\/a>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/elc.aspx?t=lwk\">ELC<\/a>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/johnlewis.aspx?t=lwk\">John Lewis<\/a>\n\n<em>Article published: 8th December 2009<\/em>\n<h3>Related article<\/h3>\n<blockquote data-secret=\"RLrcBRfcKP\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/rangs-magic-backyard-boomerang-toy-review\/\">Boomerang Toy Review<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/rangs-magic-backyard-boomerang-toy-review\/embed\/#?secret=RLrcBRfcKP\" data-secret=\"RLrcBRfcKP\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Boomerang Toy Review&#8221; &#8212; KidStart Magazine\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KidStart<\/a><\/strong> a little help along the way<\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage Playhouse Toy Review from LivingwithKids &#8211; &#8220;My daughter just loves climbing inside, and playing house.
