Playset
1984 (manufactured)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Tree-shaped playset of moulded yellow, brown and green plastic. The set can be opened for play access and it has a crank operated lift.

The bottom is green representing grass, with the tree trunk in the middle. This has a yellow door at the front and two stables with yellow gates at the back. The upper floor has two green separating walls covered with printed paper pictures, three printed paper rugs and two moulded uprights for a hammock. The yellow roof has a press release to open the hut and an opening which houses a brown 'wood plank' landing. The roof also provides the hand hold for carrying the toy.

The gates can be removed and other parts may be detachable, however, at present the hut is complete though without the box.
