Whether it’s a fort to fight pretend foes, a treehouse so you can feel tall, or a playhouse to either hide from family or invite them in, children love having their own places to play (adults too!). Choosing the winners of our contest was a fun challenge for our judges, who admired the varied creations that readers submitted. We wish we could publish more in the magazine. Here are the winners and their stories, and thanks to all who entered.
