Cardboard Rocket Play House by Lost At E Minor
What child isn't fascinated with space? Luckily, Nigel's Eco Store, an online purveyor of fun, stylish and environmentally sound homewares, came up with this Cardboard Rocket Play House. Made of sturdy recycled cardboard it arrives plain and unpainted so that the kids can decorate it however they want.
Made by a designer with over 20 years of experience in the packaging industry, the rocket can be folded flat making it transportable and easy to put away for storage. Now if we could only figure out what to do with all the used rockets floating in outer space.
Available at Nigel's for £30.
