My favorite Christams present for my daughter!

        I was looking online for Christmas present ideas for my 4 year old daughter and found what turned out to be my favorite present for her. I was on Target.com and looking in the sale section (because I am cheap and a little poor! lol!) when I found a cardboard house that you can color on! I saw the dimensions and realized that it would be quite big and it was only $25! The plastic houses (that you can't color on or store away) cost over $100! On Christmas Eve I put it together in her playroom and was very impressed. It was easy to put together and can be taken down to store. There is a door on 2 sides, a mail slot, 2 chimneys, and windows with shutters! When my daughter came downstairs the next morning, she was so excited and couldn't wait to color it! She has now decided that she likes to play in it more than color which is just fine with me! I have attached some pictures of it so you can see what it looks like and how big it is!

That's so neat! It brings back memories too haha, I had a big dollhouse I could play in when I was around her age. It was painted and wasnt meant to be colored on but..I decided to exercise my imagination anyway haha!
I think she is going to need more markers.

This is cute. I had come across it and was fearful that it would be really flimsy. Nice to know you enjoy it and it looks great. Kinda wish I had gone for it too.

it is cardboard so it isn't as sturdy as plastic. i wasn't sure how sturdy it would be but i have been surprised by it. plus, when she out grows it, i can recycle it!

That is so neat. How some of the best present our kids enjoy don't cost much but they enjoy it the most
That was a great find! I'm not surprised that she loves it so much. Great gift.

Looks awesome and so fun! Wish my nieces were little enough for this. They're just a tad big now.

Those are fun. A few years back my brother got a Spongebob one... it's gone now, but he had a blast with it!
