Paperpod Cardboard Play Houses
Paperpod probably have the most well known range of cardboard play houses from the giant house (left) which your tot may play in themselves or treat like a giant cardboard dolls house, to teepees, and rockets. They’re made from recycled cardboard and of course, they give you a great opportunity to ‘customise’ with your toddler.
