Coolest Playhouse Ever.

This ... this deserves a cookie

Spoiler: All for you

I can't think of anything to top it at the moment.

Thanks for the cookie!

Snipped for epicness.

Oh yeah, you teach little kids, so you'd know what they like...

OT: Nerf turrets for defense.
Rope swings, obviously.
A fully-stocked squirt gun/ Nerf armory.
A bat-pole.
Air raid sirens.
Fallout shelter.
And a supply closet full of kid snacks.

You see, as a child I didn't like playing outside because when my sister played with me, she always pretended to be a monster and try to eat me.

And thus, a gamer was born.

I'm guessing your sister is older? ^_^

I can imagine a much younger you taking shelter in the rocket, and blasting off before your sister could eat you.

A rope swing is a great idea! I'm thinking of a rope climb, but with knots for climbing and easy purchase.

Yeah, she's six years older than me, but starting in sixth grade or so, I started to get much larger than her.
Now I'm about 3in. and 50lbs. larger than her, so she isn't so threatening now.
Though I do still instinctively curl into the fetal position when she gets angry at me...

Oh, dear...I hope she still doesn't get angry with you. I also hope that she no longer pretends to be a monster?

Nah.
That stopped when I was 8 or 9.
She's pretty nice now.
Of course, that may be because she realized the futility of scarring me for life.
We've gotten quite off topic now, haven't we?

You have reminded me of the saying 'I digress.' THANK YOU!

Being a bit more on topic, if I could have a playhouse as a kid it'd be full of Lego. No seriously, it'd be one huge epic battle between Lego (including Bionicles!). So maybe you could I don't know, make a Lego diorama? A Lego chair would be awesome too and more realistic!

When it comes to making sure siblings aren't bullying each other, it's never off topic for me. ^_^ It comes with the whole "being a teacher" aspect of it, I suppose.

But anyway (to everyone), what sort of things would go into your personal dream-playhouse?

A full-size racetrack.

How about something like Pee Wee's Playhouse?

Damn, ninja'd by the very first post.

So I'm going to be an aunt for the first time this March, and my sister already said that she wants me to build the kid a playhouse. I'm the only one in the family with carpentry experience other than my elderly grandfather, plus, I've always wanted to be the really fun crazy aunt that spoils the kid, but I digress.

It won't be for a long time, but I already have some basic plans drawn up. However, there's still a lot of details to work on.

What would go into the coolest fort/playhouse ever that you would have wanted when you were a kid? I don't mean this as an advice thread, just say what you think it would be, even if it's completely unrealistic.

you have to make some sort of tunnel, kids love tunnels even if its a square tunnel

I will make that happen. As soon as my sister move to a house with a bigger yard.
