One clever Kmart Mum has blown all other cubby house hacks out of the water!
Speaking to Practical Parenting, mother-of-three Kirsty has explained her process in creating the Kmart Mega Mansion!
"I have three children aged seven, three and one. Two of my children have ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and I wanted to create a safe space for the kids to play in and call their own".
"It can be challenging to take the children to the local park as they have difficulties socialising. I wanted them to have a place to call their own."

Kristy started with two Kmart cubby houses. With the help of a family friend Richard, Kirsty set to work creation the ultimate Kmart Cubby hack.
"We assembled the cubbys and left off the 4th wall, these became the walls for the joining panel", explains Kristy.
Support walls were added to strengthen the structure and Kristy also explains that she was mindful to keep everything solid and safe for her children to enjoy playtime in a safe environment.
"We wanted to make sure it was safety first."
