Why The Cubby Shop
We started The Cubby Shop as we found cubby houses were either way too expensive or flimsy affairs that wouldn't last - this included mud kitchens.
After researching the way my girls (Bella 7 yrs and Layla 4yrs) played together and the cubbies that were available I decided to build them a n open planned cubby.
This activity keeps them entertained and outside for a long time which as you know as a parent is a good thing.
Most cubbies are "cubby houses", an empty room with doors and windows which is not how the girls played. We used to have a large cubby house that was rarely used and it was not cheap and we couldn't see what the kids were up to!
When your kids grow up the cubby can be converted to a small green house or plant stand - amazing!!
Our cubbies are slightly larger than a standard footpath so don't take up too much room especially important now that backyards are shrinking as houses are getting bigger.
They are constructed using treated pine so will last a long time and are sturdy and not easily damaged by children or the weather.
They are open aired so less likely to attract spiders and other creepy crawlies.
And you can clean them up with a garden hose after the drawing, mud, sand, bits of food and whatever else the kids get up to.
We manufacture the cubbies here in Geelong and deliver across the Greater Melbourne area, Bellarine Peninsula & the Surf Coast and occasionally to Ballarat!
It's a cafe cubby so it gives children a purpose with their play and ignites their imagination.
