cubbyhouse
Backyard play shelter
A cubbyhouse is a small play structure for children, typically in a backyard—a miniature house where kids can pretend, hide, or claim space of their own.
The term is chiefly Australian and New Zealand English; Americans would say playhouse or clubhouse.
The kids spent all afternoon in the cubbyhouse.
