DIY 3D Ice Cream Shop Cardboard Playhouse

Turn a simple cardboard kit into a colourful ice cream shop that kids can build, decorate and play inside. This large DIY playhouse arrives ready for children to personalise with their own colours, drawings and creative details.

Once assembled, kids can colour and paint the printed designs across the cardboard panels before stepping inside their finished creation for pretend ice cream shop play. The combination of crafting and role-play makes the finished project part artwork, part playhouse.

Build Your Own Ice Cream Shop

Assemble the cardboard panels to create a freestanding 3D ice cream shop playhouse ready to be decorated and explored.

Colour It Your Way

The printed surfaces can be coloured and painted, giving kids plenty of room to personalise their shop with their favourite colours and creative touches.

Craft First, Play Afterwards

Creating the playhouse is only the beginning. Once finished, children can use their decorated ice cream shop for imaginative pretend-play scenarios.

Large 3D Playhouse Design

With an assembled size of approximately 60 × 26 × 97 cm, the finished structure creates a sizeable play space while remaining lightweight thanks to its cardboard construction.

needs floor space

Make sure you have a spot for it because it takes up more room once they start playing around it
