Space-saving playhouse expands like an accordion

With an accordion-style body, the PET playhouse can be set up in 15 seconds, and connects with other models with Velcro straps.

South Korea-based Cretoy's Accordion Play House, which won the IDEA Gold Award last 2014, is now up for grabs on Kickstarter.

The playhouse boasts a foldable body that opens and closes like an accordion. This feature allows the toy to be installed directly on walls or stored inside closets without taking too much space. On a YouTube video, it was shown that the house can be set up and put away by the child in seconds.

The Accordion Play House has Velcro straps on both PP board ends, which enable users to connect it to other models for a longer playhouse. The walls are made of PET felt that allows better air permeability and light penetration.

When folded, the playhouse measures 4in. Expanded, it can reach about 44in.
