Play is Best - My Cubby Encourages Parents to Take Children Outdoors

For busy parents keeping children entertained and busy with healthy outdoor fun is a constant challenge. Brisbane-based manufacturer of children’s cubby houses My Cubby has some great ideas to facilitate happy and healthy outdoor play. With a wide range of imaginative cubby houses to choose from, the company is on a mission to get children outside doing what is best for them in terms of their physical and mental wellbeing – learning to play.

In the early 1900s Italian educator Maria Montessori advocated: “Play is the Work of the Child.” This formed one of the primary theories of her teaching method and remains till today the focus of this world renowned teaching programme. Her message was simple – play is voluntary and creative. It helps children flourish with new ideas and encourages growth, education and social skills. Today the topic of play concerns all involved in the life of a child – from parents and teachers to the government – all of whom understand the effect early play has on the future of the child, and the society at large. 

My Cubby started its business building cubby houses in 2011 to encourage healthy outdoor fun for children.  This family-owned business has been building cubby houses with the help of the best builders who have over 30 years’ experience.  The cubby houses give children reasons to let go of their digital gadgets and stop watching endless television.  “Our aim is to get children back outside and into physical and imaginative play that all kids need. Safety is vital in the design and making of our cubbies, right down to the smallest detail like changing the gradient of the steps by just a few degrees to make children less likely to fall,” says Gail Carroll, owner of My Cubby.

My Cubby has made and installed over 1,000 cubby houses around Australia. The number is constantly rising and growing too. The company takes pride in the fact that over1000 families and also the children of their neighbours, relatives and friends have been positively impacted. “We are very pleased that we have introduced a lot of children of this generation to the joy of spending time outdoors and using their imagination in adventurous ways,” says Gail.
