{Brag Worthy Summer!} Gather and Grille Playhouse Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

For a sizzlin’ good time, gather in this playhouse with an extended area for grilling & hanging out with friends!

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited my 2 year old bug got when I told him that this Step 2 Gather and Grille Playhouse was coming for us to review! What a perfect addition to summer playtime!

When it arrived we couldn’t believe how big the box was. (But what did I expect for a playhouse, LOL!) It was really nice because while me and my sister were putting the playhouse together bug had a blast playing in the huge box. Isn’t it funny how much kids love boxes?!

It didn’t take very long for me and my sister to put the outdoor playhouse together, I didn’t officially time it but I would guess it took around an hour. It is much easier if you have a drill (and is actually recommended) since you have to make the holes for the screws in the plastic yourself. But it doesn’t require a drill, I was able to use a Phillips head screw driver on one of the holes but it took me a lot longer on that one. It’s just faster with the drill. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to assemble, and the instructions have step by step pictures (which helps me a lot as I am a very visual person) making it really easy to know what to do next.

Once it was assembled I put the sticker decals on to complete the house. They are great stickers, even when I messed up putting it on and it got a wrinkle I was able to press it out. It is so stinkin’ cute! It even has a little decal fireplace and a clock above the mantel. There is a kitchen sink inside the house so kids can “prepare” food inside as well as grill on the barbeque outside. The doorbell actually rings (make sure you have 2 AAA batteries on hand since they aren’t included). Bug loves the doorbell, I knew he would since he is obsessed with ringing our doorbell. It is really cute having a “ding dong” door bell by the front door

This playhouse is a really good size for multiple children playing. It has a front door and a patio entrance so that eases the congestion. Kids can go in and out easily without getting in each other’s way. And since there is a patio with a bench seat and a grill the kids can play out there as well. It is perfect for family gatherings and play dates when a lot of kids play together, as well as for one child playing by himself like bug.

It comes with 5 additional accessories: a Spatula, Tongs, a Fork, & Ketchup and Mustard Bottles. I think it should have come with a couple food pieces as well but no problem for us since we have the Step 2 Fresh Market Kitchen (which we love as well). So we just brought out some hamburgers and hot dogs from bug’s play food stash and he was ready to get grilling. It is very fun how the grill opens and closes as well as has knobs to turn. The cutest thing was when daddy started grilling up some hamburgers for dinner bug ran over to his playhouse and started grilling as well.

Of all the great features of this playhouse the one I love the most is that it is made of a heavy duty plastic and I know it will last through all of my kids playing in it. And once they are grown it will be passed down to other kids. This one is made to last the test of time!
