About Step2 Naturally Playful Storybook Cottage
Cottage™ is an outdoor playhouse perfect for lots of pretend play. Invite friends over by making a pretend phone call with the play phone, and they’ll announce their arrival with the real working doorbell. Enter the spacious playhouse through the adorable rounded door with peekaboo cutouts to join the fun! Inside, toddlers can cook up delicious pretend meals on the stovetop with clickable knobs, serving guests their snacks on the convenient kitchen table. After mealtime, fold up the table to make room for more play, and wash the dishes in the pretend molded-in sink just like adult role models do! Charming details in this kids playhouse include a molded-in fireplace and cuckoo clock with working hands, and even a couple storage shelves for holding play food or other home décor your toddler desires. Check out the realistic stonework throughout this thoughtfully designed kids playhouse — like around the windows, around the fireplace and chimney, on the playhouse exterior, and even the thatched roof! Made in USA.

Language + Social Skills
Role playing requires kids to engage in story telling as they make up scenarios, and communicate with others what role they are playing. Any new toy also expands a child’s vocabulary – learning new verbs like “push” and “shop”, or nouns like “basket” and “cart”.
Esteem + Self-Expression
Using pretend play toys to mimic Mom and Dad helps instill a sense of independence in children. They feel a sense of power in being able to do what you can do!
Critical Thinking
Running into problems while playing, like an item that won’t fit into a basket or a blocked path, allows children to think through problems and craft solutions on their own.
Creativity + Role Play
When kids pretend play, they engage in storytelling, which allows them to exercise their brain and train it to think creatively. They will learn to think for themselves and make decisions that impact the story they create.
