Happy Ella After readers will know that this week, we became the proud owners of a Creations4Kids Cardboard Cubby. Ella was immediately taken by the coolness of an enclosed space all to herself, and within seconds she was in and slammed the door shut behind me. It was so cute to hear her talking to herself and the toys she dragged in with her. There is just something so cool about a Cubby House. It’s a little oasis for children, and I’m sure it creates an ‘oasis’ type feeling for parents. Hours of endless play and happiness for all. Whether it be a ‘pimped’ up cubby like some of the ones I found online this week, or the DIY sort, made out of sheets, pillows and a hand held torch…we all have fond memories of building and playing in cubby houses as children.
This week for Friday Finds, I thought I would share with you some amazing examples of ‘pimped’ up Cubbies. Babyology often posts great articles about cubbies that inspire and foster imagination. Here are some great ones I have found whilst trawling through the internet. The only word to describe them is ‘awesome!’.
Princess or Astronaut? This cubby’s got you covered…
Fantasy dreams…
Tree House Perfection..
Cubby Heaven…this one was part of the Melbourne International Flower Show…
However, there truly is nothing more fun and magical, than making your own indoor cubby, with good old sheets, pillows, toys and what ever you can find! I have wonderful memories of spending school holidays transforming whole rooms into cubby heaven. If you need inspiration for your little ones, visit this great Kidspot article by clicking on the image below. Look at their gorgeous smiles..
Whether it be a DIY indoor cubby, cardboard pop up or fantasy cubby house…have fun creating building one with your kids.
Do you have a photo of your child’s cubby, or a great memory of a childhood cubby house? I’d love to hear from you!

We make dodgy blanket and old cardboard box cubbies all the time. Especially great for playdates. 🙂
Danya the dodgier the better I say!
What a fantastic post. Those tree houses are sublime. I often find myself dreaming up cubby house designs. My latest dream has a stone turret for the little knights to survey the kingdom from. One day x
Thank you! I don’t age will ever be a barrier against loving Cubby houses! xx
they have come a long way since my childhood of the rugs over he furniture
My word they have! 🙂
My kids would love the Hogwarts one that J.K. Rowling is building for her kids in her garden! I think I would move in to it too!
