Little Tikes TikeStix Clubhouse Review & Giveaway

Growing up I remember building forts with my brothers and friends. It's something almost everyone I've ever talked to recalls about their own childhood. There's something exciting and fun about building a fort and pretending to camp out, read, use it as a garage, etc. My kids often grab pillows and blankets and do the same thing...that's why I knew the new product from Little Tikes would be a big hit around our house!!

Since 1970 Little Tikes has been offering families an amazing selection of innovative children's products that encourage them to get up and be active while playing. Offering everything from baby toys and children's furniture to riding toys and workshops...they have created a line of products that parents can trust and turn to time and time again.

Over the years we've owned several Little Tikes products (a brand I grew up with as well). Having always been very impressed with the quality, educational value and overall appeal...I couldn't have been happier to learn about the new Little Tikes Preschool Construction Line, TikeStix!

Having children who enjoy pretend play, constructing and being creative...I knew this would be a toy they'd love and couldn't be happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review it!

When the box arrived, I was happy to see what a nice size it is. It is made so we can easily store the pieces in it when not in use which has been terrific!

Opening up the box, we found everything we needed to start building. The Little Tikes TikeStix Clubhouse includes 1 Fabric tarp, 8 Fabric clips and 41 Interlocking colorful pieces.

 

There were many ideas as to how the TikeStix could be used included in the user-friendly manual, and we decided to start by building a clubhouse per the request of the kids who always like to have a fort build for them to go and read and play. 

As we began, I could tell that the pieces fit well together, even for Kaelyn's little hands. It's really great for developing those critical thinking skills and basic mechanical abilities. Recommended for ages 4+, Kaden had a bit more difficulty getting them to click securely together...however that is to be expected at just 2 1/2 years old. He still has a lot of fun constructing with this neat set. 

 

Once we had the pieces together, they held strongly in place (each piece is very durable...exactly what one would expect from Little Tikes!). There's even fabric and clips included to use as the roof to the clubhouse which gives it that extra touch that makes it so much fun for kids! 

 

The kids were thrilled to see it all put together and couldn't wait to get inside and start using their imaginations as to what they were going to use it for. Many times I have found them reading inside (they LOVE cozy reading areas!), and other times I find them pretending they're camping out or using it as a house. The options are absolutely endless!

In fact, The TikeStix Clubhouse Building Set can be used for much more than a fort...children can build an endless number of creations with this innovative construction play set. All the TikeStix playsets are interchangeable for kids to expand their building, so they can create things like airplanes, ships and more!

  

In the time we've been playing with the TikeStix Clubhouse, we have been thrilled with the endless possibilities it provides to engage our kids in imaginative, creative and fun play! I am amazed at the many different creations they have come up with...it has truly provided hours of play! The fact that it can be used indoors and outdoors is also great...especially with summer just around the corner.

The Little Tikes TikeStix Clubhouse can be purchased at LittleTikes.com. While you're there, be sure to check out the TikeStix Playhouse which is a lot like the Clubhouse and other smaller TikeStix building sets...all of which offer children the opportunity to construct, use their imaginations and be creative!
