In addition to the plywood as a cheap but effective material, which I mentioned a few days below, I have always loved cardboard as a material for children. I think this is a throwback to my childhood days when my sister and I would spend many hours designing, painting and putting various cardboard boxes of different sizes together to create houses for our dolls and their entire families. It was a springboard for our imagination and creativity.

Several years ago I found an adorable blue dolls house made out of cardboard and bought it as it brought to mind those cardboard boxes I used to make and play with but the quality has not withstood the trials of a toddler. At about the same time I continued the tradition and created a wendy house for my daughter out of the box in which her car seat had come and she still plays with it today, so the strength of the material can be uncertain.

I came across this cardboard furniture from Toy Toy recently and love it. It is colourful, inexpensive ($20) and functional (it has under seat storage).
