The bright colors and classic lines of the Barn Playhouse will awaken nostalgia in adults and charm little kids alike. This small pretend building will promote all manner of interesting tale telling by children milling around its exterior and gathering about its benches inside. Little ones could act out a series of farm chores like feeding livestock, hauling lumber, planting seeds, or repairing a tractor. Just imagine the chorus of animal sounds that will be emerging from the area around the Barn Playhouse, from the crowing rooster to the low mooing cows. Children will have a blast bringing a farm to life right there among the slides and swings. Acting out the lives of the men and women who work the land will help kids connect their lives to those of the larger world that supplies them their food. Or it might just help them explore how good they are at conjuring a make-believe situation out of thin air. Either way, they’ll be strengthening the artistic parts of their brains and practicing collaborative storytelling. This unit is great for daycare facilities, preschools, kindergartens, and church recreation areas.
