Bankers Box at Play School Bus Cardboard Playhouse and Craft Activity for Kids

This bus literally lasted 2 1/2 months with my 2 girls. They colored the inside, the outside, and covered it with stickers. It became a part of all their make believe play time and was so fun! It was very big and obviously that became annoying for me at times haha, but they loved it and I love the fun times they had with it. We will probably do it again some day!

My grandsons love this. They are 7 and 4 years of age. It is easy to put together, just follows the instructions. I have assembled and unassembled this a few times and it is still in great conditions. It is very sturdy and great quality. It is big and excellent price.

This bus made meet the teacher night even better. While parents filled out paperwork. My students were able to keep occupied with coloring the bus. It was easy to build and worth every penny. The bus is sizable so if you have a small space I don't really recommend. If you have the space go for it.

So much fun! We used this as entertainment for a high school graduation party. It was a hit! Especially with a the low tech airbrush we had purchased to complete the package. Highly recommended!

We've really liked this bus! It has lots of pictures and shapes to color, and it's quite big. We got it to entertain the kids at a reunion, and it easily fit three kids between ages 3 and 5. In fact, at one point we got all three of those kids plus a thin adult and a toddler all squished in there at once, though there wasn't any room for them to move at that point.The cardboard pieces all fit together nice and tight, and everything lined up well. It took a few minutes to put it together, but it wasn't too complicated, though the instructions could have been more clear. Make sure you fold all the tabs so that they can be tucked inside instead of poking out. It was definitely easier with 2 people, but 1 person could probably manage it.It held up well for those couple days at the reunion. We pulled it apart and brought it home, and when we put it back together, it didn't hold together quite as tightly anymore, so I had to use some packing tape to secure things. But hey, it's cardboard, so I don't expect it to last forever.There are two reasons that I took off a star. First, at the time of my purchase, the product page had the wrong dimensions listed. When assembled, the actual dimensions are: 45" LENGTH x 31" WIDTH x 33" HEIGHT.Second, I feel like there's a design flaw when it comes to the back panel with the door and I'll do my best to explain it. All of the cardboard panels arrive folded in half, and I totally understand how this makes shipping easier and less expensive. And mostly I think they've made those folds thoughtfully: with the sides folding vertically and the front and back folding horizontally, they all hold each other up once they're hooked together. But the problem is that the back panel has the door in it to break up that stability. Because it's been folded, it tends to bulge out horizontally in the middle, and that fold is "stronger" (for lack of a better word) than the fold for the door "hinge," especially after we collapsed it and then put it back up a second time. So when trying to open the door, instead of having it open on the door's "hinge," you end up just pulling on the whole back panel, and it's now ripping. If you push the door in, then it works fine, but then you significantly decrease your play space inside. The simple fix for this would be to fold the back panel the other direction for shipping so that it would have a tendency to bulge IN. I'm hoping they'll see this and make adjustments because I feel like it's such a little change that would have to be made, and it would vastly improve the toy's longevity.All in all, I'm still glad we got it. It's a nice little play house, and the kids loved it!

I bought this for an Easter present and it was instantly a hit in our house. My 3 year old constantly played and we colored for months on and off. The cardboard is surprisingly durable.It stayed in our house for probably 3-4 months until it finally was torn apart. She had so much fun playing in it.It was cute and extremely easy to put together. Extremely good value for how long we had it.

This is fun to color and decorate but hard to put together.

I teach pre-k, and I bought this for our bus safety week. The students were divided into group to paint the different pieces, then we (I) put it together. They took turns playing in it everyday, practicing evacuation skills and learning about the parts of the bus. At the end of the week, our magic bus drove off to help other students 😉 It was very helpful for their understanding, practice, and creativity. Highly recommended.
