ArtHouse by Storyboard Toys!. (ages 5 and up, www.storyboardtoys.com) is the toy building kids decorate with their own artwork! Paper decorations are sandwiched and protected within durable, reusable 8 ˝ by 11 transparent walls. ArtHouse decoration is a great basis for family, group and school crafting projects. In fact, ArtHouse is finding its way into many social studies and language arts classrooms and into after-school programs, where kids work together to decorate the building to various cultural, historic, or seasonal themes and incorporate ArtHouse into research and story-telling projects.

ArtHouse has a strong, beautiful birch-wood roof and floor. The roof is supported on steel columns, and the walls are held in place by hidden magnets. The roof can be lifted off and set aside to facilitate presentation of decoration projects or play from the top. Built "dollhouse scale", ArtHouse is compatible with a wide range of other toys, puppets, and furnishings. Pre-printed Firehouse and Country Cottage decoration sets are included with ArtHouse. Inexpensive, educational, accessory "Décor Kits" help kids transform ArtHouse into a beautiful Horse Barn (great for popular model horses!), a stylish Traditional Japanese Home, or a Viking Longhouse. Each accessory kit includes art and social studies lessons, and the Viking kit even includes an authentic Viking board game. All Storyboard Toys products are MADE IN USA.

ArtHouse has received recent nationwide exposure in Working Mother and Young Rider magazines, and has received Teachers’ Choice, Parents’ Choice, Dr Toy and MetroKids magazine awards. ArtHouse was also named one of 2003’s "Top Ten Toys" by TDMonthly.com!
