Timber Cafe Cubby House

Aberdeen Cubby House: A Timber Cafe Playhouse with a Serving Hatch

The Aberdeen Cubby House turns backyard play into a little cafe or shop, complete with a serving hatch and fold-out counter, striped fabric awnings, three chalkboards for menus and signs, and a window box that is ready to be stocked. At 1.54m tall there is heaps of room inside for friends to gather, and the black stained roof and natural timber walls give it a classic, cosy look. It is a timber cubby built for role play, shopkeeping and plenty of pretend service with a smile.

Open for Business

A chalkboard sign above the door to name their cafe

The chalkboard on the front gable is ready for a cafe name, a shop title or a daily special. Kids can rewrite it as often as the game changes, so the cubby becomes a new place every afternoon.

Serving Hatch and Counter

Take orders and serve from the hatch

The hatch opens onto a fold-out counter, so one child can serve from inside while friends line up outside to order. It is a simple setup that encourages turn taking, role play and plenty of cafe chatter.

Menu Boards

Two chalkboard hatch doors double as menu boards

When the hatch doors swing open, the chalkboard surfaces on the inside face outward, giving kids a place to write up prices, menus and orders. Along with the gable sign, that makes three chalkboards in total.

Striped Awnings

Blue and white fabric awnings for a cafe look

Striped fabric awnings sit over the serving hatch and the front window, adding colour against the timber and a shopfront feel that suits cafe, bakery and market play.

Window Box

A window box for pretend produce and plants

Beneath the front window, the timber window box is the perfect spot to stock pretend fruit and vegetables, display a menu item, or stage a little garden for a fruit and veg stall.

Opening Shutters

A side window with shutters that swing open

The side window has white shutters that open outwards, adding another way to look out, pass things through and play peek-a-boo with friends in the yard.

A Door of Their Own

A front door with its own little window

The timber front door swings open on hinges and has a window of its own, so kids can peek out, greet visitors and welcome customers into their cafe. A magnetic door catch keeps it in place while they play.
