A summer cottage is not only a place where adults are busy in the garden or in the garden from morning to night, planting, weeding, preserving, or building something. It is also a great opportunity for children to stay in the fresh air, to run barefoot from the heart, shout, laugh, without fear of disturbing the peace of neighbors. In a word, this is a unique opportunity to be children themselves. And if at the summer cottage, somewhere in the garden, they have their own corner, where they can be completely free - what else does a small person need for happiness ?!

As for the "housing", there are many options. Firstly, children's plastic houses and their accessories can be bought. They are, of course, not cheap, but at the same time several birds with one stone are killed.
