Recycled Wood Tree House by Phuong-Cac Nguyen

If remembering the fun and simple learning experience from playing with Lincoln Logs as a kid brings back good memories, then the Recycled Wood Tree House—a modern update to those brown stacking pieces of our generation—will likely bring the same to any easily bored rugrat over age three in your life.

This 22-inch-tall, recycled cherry and elder wood tree house made with removable parts like retractable stairs, blocks, pegs, crane and load and other pieces is built to be assembled and reassembled by children's hands while pushing the limits of their imagination in the exercise. It's a beautiful toy that will stand the test of time.

Reform School has it for $170.
