Check out these top 5 carefully selected plastic outdoor playhouses toddlers can use to boost their imaginative play. If your little one loves to pretend - like mine does! - they'll enjoy lifelike cottages, homes, and bungalows where they can act, imagine, dream, and explore.

I've carefully selected some top-rated playhouses and one thing that's very important to me is that a product stands the test of time.

These definitely do!

Little brothers and sisters can enjoy these being passed down and grandparents can keep these for when the grandkids visit!

Have a home daycare? One of these in your backyard will delight and inspire your little charges.

1. Cute Kitchenette with Picnic Table

I absolutely love the features of this cute kitchenette with an attached picnic table. Little ones can whip up some fun with plastic food playsets and pass plates through the window for those seated and ready to eat. It's an adorable setup and it might be fun for tea parties or real lunches with mom or dad!

2. Realistic Pretend Cottage with Sink, Eating Area, Skylight, and Fireplace

This play cottage has a few more features and more of a realistic look to it, which might be a better fit if you're looking for a play house that blends in with your home and landscaping.

On the outside, the house has stone and wood detailing.

There's even a battery-operated doorbell!

Two green flower boxes and a small attached dining area provide a sweet finishing touch.

3. White and Gray Farmhouse-Style Cottage

I thought this was SO cute and reminds me of that "farmhouse decor" style that so popular right now.

Little dutch door swings open for coming in and out. There's a pretend sink, grill, and eating area inside that's a great place to have a picnic lunch.

This play cottage has a working doorbell, too, which is such a neat feature!

There's more than one color choice but I happen to love the white/gray and the detail of the "wood" and "stone" looks great.

4. Large Square Camping - or Glamping! - Bungalow

The unique thing about this pretend play bungalow is that it comes with so many UNIQUE features.

First, it's pretty big at 47.75"L x 47.75"W x 59.50"H with a doorway clearance of 14.5". If you're looking for a larger playhouse, this is the one to get.

Then, it comes with an adjustable fabric canopy that opens and closes, which gives it that "glamping" feel but it's not strictly feminine.

And finally, you get over 25 accessories that come WITH this product, so kids can start enjoying and playing as soon as it's all set up.

Such a great find!

5. Deluxe Home and Garden with Attached Sand and Water Table

I love the features of this one which include a covered but open design, working door, mailbox, kitchenette, and workbench.

What's really nice is that they've included a sand and water table that's great for kids who love sensory play. Mine can play in sand and water for hours! And neither is so big that it'll make for a big cleanup if your little one leans toward being a bit messier.
