Build & Grow Tree House

Build & Grow Tree House

The Build & Grow Tree House begins as a paint-and-build craft, then gradually transforms into a miniature treehouse scene that continues to change over time.

Everything needed to paint, assemble, and decorate the treehouse is included, along with an optional growing feature that lets children add real greenery using chia seeds. Prefer a maintenance-free display? Simply use the included faux leaves to create the same lush, finished look.

The project unfolds in easy-to-follow stages. Children first paint the wooden pieces, adding color to the tree, branches, and base. Once the paint has dried, the pieces are assembled into a sturdy treehouse, with stickers, cardstock details, and decorative elements adding windows, accents, and personality.

The optional growing step adds another layer of fun. Place the chia seeds on the included soil-free growing mats, add a few drops of water, and watch fresh greenery begin to sprout over the next several days. Or skip the growing step entirely—the faux leaves provide a full, leafy canopy without any watering or upkeep.

Once complete, the treehouse naturally becomes part of imaginative play. Animal figures move in, stories unfold, and the finished project becomes a miniature world that children can continue to enjoy long after the painting and building are finished.

Along the way, children strengthen fine motor skills, practice following multi-step directions, and experience the satisfaction of creating a project that evolves from a craft to a display to imaginative play.
