SLY Award recipient Joy Maddox has four kids. Four fun, fantastic, artistic kids – under age 6.
I bet they’re going to be super excited that KidsCraft Playhouses has offered up their choice of either The Creation Cottage ($59.95) or The Shuttle Imagination ($69.95).
Both structures are made from 100% recycled cardboard material and are designed to DECORATE! Kids can use crayons, markers, paints, stickers, and colored pencils to create their own masterpiece. Then, they can play with their creation for hours on end – using their imagination to inspire play.
The Creation Cottage is quaint and well-sized enough for multiple children, with a door and windows and a chimney on top.
The Shuttle Imagination is out-of-this-world (ha!):

My boys would absolutely LOVE the Shuttle Imagination!
Those are so cute! My kids love decorating things. Not a day goes by that something isn’t being colored.
My boys would have a BLAST in the Shuttle Imagination! (No pun intended!) And getting to decorate things is a plus for sure!!!
This reminds me of my Mickey Mouse house that I would play in. I had it up in the living room all the time when I was a kid. Mine was made of plastic poles and a vinyl material for the sides and roof….
This is a neat idea for kids to put their own design on the house.
These are awesome!!! I wish I had one when I was little. LOL. My son would love this!!!
That’s so exciting! I can so see Joy’s kids playing in there. While we’re on that topic, I can see mine in it, too. :) They love art, they love pretend play, and they would adore this little cute house. Thanks for showing it to us!
This would be a fun dual toy for the kids to play with, right now they have toys in their rooms and separate from each other. It has been a task with the two toddlers and the 5 year old.
This would be fun for them.
Fun! We had something similar a while ago, my son loved it! We would love to have a new one to play in and color on….it makes me want to do something creative!
My daughter just turned 3, and it’s so fun to see her imagination bloom! She would love a little playhouse. And the fact that she could “decorate” it herself would make it even more special.
My kids would love the shuttle.
my girls would love the cottage! i wonder if the dhuttle is big enough for 2 kids
We were just talking the other day that we think Lily would love a play house, I think this would be a great option.
I’ve been eyeing up that play cottage as my girls would love to “decorate” it and play in it!
I know my kids would have a lot of fun with this. And my favorite part is that they are made from 100% recycled material! A big plus!
This is awesome! We’ve made our own rockets out of cardboard so many times (practically weekly)! This would be SOOOOO fun for my fellas!
How fun to be able to decorate these!! My girls would love the cottage. :-)
Well my goodness, we are all so excited over here! I wish you could have heard the gleeful giggles :) Thank you!
I spent many wonderful Saturdays playing in refrigerator boxes that my friends and I turned into playhouses! Looking back, I can’t believe that one of my friend’s parents let us leave them set up in their living room for weeks on end. :)
I have fond memories of decorating large cardboard boxes. My friend’s son even got one for Christmas! So these are a natural extension. I don’t know that I would be able to decide between the rocket or the cottage though. They both look really fun.
How FUN! We make forts out of blankets and such, but how much cooler would it be to have one that they can draw on (other than a box that may come in the mail every now and then!) :) The rocket is pretty cool too! I can only imagine the gleeful giggles Joy’s kids let out when they found out they get to pick one of their own. So fun!!
Wow, our little one would have a blast with these! Hope I win.
My daughter would have so much fun with the Creation Cottage
my grandson likes to decorate things mverno@roadrunner.com
What I think is neat about this is that they can decorate it. My daughter is at the stage where she loves playing house and roping brother into the game, so this would be great.

I have two nephews who would love the Space Shuttle Imagination – (or the Cottage if we call it something else)
This looks like so much fun! I should really look into these products. My son would love the Shuttle and my daughters would have a blast with the Cottage. Thanks so much for introducing me to these products.
How cool are these?!?! That cottage playhouse blows an old cardboard refridgerator right out of the water! I’d love to see my son playing with this!
I love how this inspires imaginative play in the kids
These are so adorable! I love that the kids can make it their own by drawing on it. My girls would flip!
My little bro and I got something like this one Christmas–so fun! I’d love to give my kids the shuttle one for space adventures. Thanks!
These look so much nicer than the playhouses that we have tried. My little one would love one!!!
My son loves to create his own playhouses and such out of boxes. Currently, we salvaged one from a project at work and he made a schoolhouse out of it. He would absolutely go bonkers over something like this…he loves to draw and color, so this would be perfect–either one!
I would love to have the Shuttle Imagination for my grandboys for summer fun
What a fun concept! My sister recently created a fabulous play house for her daughter out of big boxes, and my boys enjoyed helping decorate it & play in it. The shuttle especially is a very neat idea!
My grandson would really enjoy this. Creating your own shuttle. How cool is that? We had to use empty boxes to create our own toys. Love this
My husband will find empty appliance boxes once in awhile to make into houses for our granddaughters. These would be so great.
My 2 little grandsons are always building themselves a ‘house’ using blankets and boxes/tables. They would be thrilled to have one of these. Thanks for the giveaway.
Well, those boxes are certainly a lot cooler than the things I had to play with when I was kid! I’d love to give that to my kids!
even though i have a son, i’d love the playhouse…his new favorite show is busytown mysteries, and they have a secret clubhouse…i would love for this to be our secret clubhouse

shuttle would be perfect for my little guy — what a fantastic concept

The boys would have a blast with this and I’m thrilled that they are made in the USA. You can also recycle these toys when your kids are thru playing with them.
I love that they are made from recycled paper.
My kids would be over the moon for one of these. The hard part would be deciding which one! And I agree about the made in USA from recycled paper – good stuff. Thanks for the opportunity.
My boys would absolutely LOVE the Shuttle Imagination!
The boys would have a ball playing in the rocket ship and pretending to blast off into space!
I know a kid from the church who could really enjoy this – that’s who we would give it to if we won.
My daughter would go crazy for the Cottage!
Thanks for the chance.

I remember my parents getting a new fridge when I was a kid – I swear we had the box a year later! These are such a cool adaptation of fridge boxes! hehe.
What a lovely idea–kind of an update to the old playhouses we used to make out of refrigerator boxes. My boys would really enjoy the rocket-ship one. Thanks!
My son would love this. I think my husband would get out of helping him decorate the shuttle as well. Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve been seeing these playhouses around here and there online, and I just love them. I love the creative freedom that kids can take with the house to truly make it their own!
What a genius invention! Kids usually love huge boxes to play in, and it seems they are usually really hard to find… unless you get a new fridge every week! haha!
OMG. I have grandchildren who would LOVE these. I just gave my granddaughter a giant cardboard box, huge one, and she loved it. Until Mommy said no more!! LOL
These are so innovative and leave a child’s imagination soar! My niece and nephew would enjoy
the Shuttle. Merci, Cindi
This inspired me to try and make a playhouse out of cardboard. Its a cleaver way to be creative and allow your kids to use their imagination. Also, reuse some materials that might end up in the trash.
This looks like some serious fun!! We just got a big Britax box and have been playing in it all week, thanks!
Awesome prize. My kiddos would probably like the rocket the best. Most of the time my youngest plays with the boxes more then the toys at Christmas Time LOL
My son would love the Shuttle Imagination. So cute!
my daughter would love the playhouse , and to be able to draw on it too!! She would be in heaven
I would love to win the cottage for my preschool classroom.
I would love to win this for my grandchildren
This is a great product! Plus, the company donates part of their profits to childrens charities!!! A win for everyone! Thanks!

My daughter would love the cottage. I think it’s great that their products are made from 100% recycled materials.
My kids would have hours of fun with the space shuttle.
My son would so love the shuttle. He is very into space right now. His birthday party is next month and he has asked for a space themed birthday party. What a cool prop this would be.
I like that this doesnt require batteries..it would be fun for my son to be creative and make him own custom house or shuttle!
Little Kaylee would adore that!Any playhouse is a good playhouse to keep our kids busy
I love that the kids can color and draw what ever they want on the play houses. My son has been wanting the shuttle every since he seen it.
I love the fact that these products are made in the USA and are made with recyclable materials. My daughter would have so much fun putting stickers on the little cottage. I would love to watch her play in it.

my son would love the shuttle. so cool and creative.
I’d love to win this for my daughter so she can “play house”…she’d love it!
I love that they are meant to be colored on! My daughter would love the Creation Cottage!
This would be the top “toy” in our house. The girls love boxes/containers of all sizes.
These are so adorable I wish I had one when i was a kid..We had a large fridge box we played in.With this a child can get creative and let their imagination flow :)
Would LOVE the win the Shuttle Imagination!! thanks so much for the chance!
My kids love to color.. i’m sure they would enjoy this immensely :)
What a great way to unleash your children’s imaginations! These are fantastic products. Thanks for the contest!
I’m ready to remove the giant plastic slide from my kids’ room and to give them an indoor playhouse – this is perfect!
My boys would have tons of fun playing with the shuttle :)
What’s not to love with something like this? It’s cardboard (recycled and post-play recyclable), you can draw on it, you can go inside of it, and it will provide a lot of creative fun between parents and kids/siblings. This is a great prize, and would be a great gift!!
My kids would love this they would love decorating the cottage, thanks for the chance to win
