Packed with activities, the Discovery Playhouse is a colorful way for your own little explorer to celebrate discovery. With so much to do both inside and out, this spacious tent allows children to develop their cognitive abilities while they play. The Playhouse features ball play, shape sorting, peek-a-boo games, and a frame that can double as both a mirror and picture frame to showcase a favorite photo. Lightweight and compact, the Playhouse folds up easily.

Playhouse Offers Fun Activities Inside and Out
Children can discover colors, shapes, and much more with the spacious Discovery Playhouse. Each of the tent's four walls features a new game or activity meant to stimulate and engage children's imagination. Your child will love spinning the bead-filled window or watching colorful balls zip through the rollercoaster run. For a personal touch, a mirror above the tent entrance can double as a picture frame, so parents can display their toddler's favorite photo.

Designed to Boost Cognitive Development
Learning has never been so much fun! The Discovery Playhouse provides activities that are intended to encourage physical and cognitive development--all through rewarding, imaginative playtime. Children will learn about colors and shapes through games that require them to sort, count, and match the colored balls. Five brightly designed tubes teach kids to pair a certain tube with its corresponding ball, while a set of shape-match keys let them release the balls when they insert each key in its correct lock.

Easy Assembly and Spacious Design
The Discovery Playhouse makes it easy to create a fun-filled play area in just moments. Thanks to its convenient fold-up design, the tent allows parents to simply open the tent and insert the ceiling piece for a ready-made house. Its large opening and high ceiling makes room for taller children, while the wide base lets it accommodate multiple kids at play.

What's in the Box
One Discovery Playhouse.

2.0 out of 5 stars not worth the money or the space, January 6, 2009

There is another listing for this product on amazon (same product) and there is a one star review there. I am more in agreement with that review than with the ones I read here.

it is a cute toy and there are lots of things to do. but there are a couple of negatives which make me wish we didn't spend the money. first, the ramps for the balls always pop out and they are not simple to get back in. second, although it is fairly easy to fold up, it still takes up A LOT of space when folded at least half the amount of space as the dome when fully assembled. and you can't pop it back into the box at that point, because it won't fit. you have to lean it against a wall and it is always falling over (even when you use the plastic piece they suggest to clip it together).

my 3 and 7 year old kids were more interested in the toy than my 1 year old.

just thought I would provide this alternate view, since all the other reviews seemed so glowing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the $$$ - Very disappointed, April 11, 2009

By 

Grace's Mom - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yookidoo Discovery Playhouse (Baby Product)

Santa brought this for my 1 year old for Christmas this past year. We immediately put it together and the thing is CONSTANTLY falling apart. The walls come out from the bottom where they connect to the feet by pressing a cloth covered bar into a slot. The ramps for the ball drop fall off all the time and if they aren't pushed in all the way the ball does not run through the ramps correctly. The keys don't always work to lock the door so the balls fall out when you want them to stay in and they are also very difficult to use. No way a young toddler can handle the task of inserting and turning a key no matter how big it is. Overall, I am very disappointed in this product and am considering trying to see if I can still send it back 4 months later. I would not recommend buying this at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing toy- especially for twins, January 4, 2009

My 14 month old twins recieved this for Christmas and it is amazing! They love to play in it together (they both ift inside well) or peek through it and giggle at each other. The balls rattle which they love and there are so many differnet ways to play- ball rollercoasters and tunnels, spinning toys, mirror- they are ative and love to chase each other inside and out. I also feel that thsi toy is safe for 12 months or even younger. There are no sharp or small pieces and it is very sturdy. They can use it to pull to stand and cruise it- it will slide a little but does not fall or collapse, even with two babies pulling on it. This is an a amazing toy!
