Worldly Kids launches Mi-House

Australia's first environmentally sustainable cubby house

Forward thinking children's product company, Mi-House, has answered the concerns of an increasing number of environmentally and socially conscious parents and launched Australia's first environmentally sustainable and educational cubby house.

The progressive product is a completely eco friendly play house for children aged 3 to 7 years of age to decorate and play in. It is made from recycled material, is easily recyclable after use and for every unit purchased a tree will be planted by Junior Landcare.

While creating and playing in their house children will learn about caring for the environment and understanding other cultures. Children can cut out stick on additions such as a water tank, an energy efficient fridge and recycling symbols while learning about why these things are important for the planet.

Children can even convert their ordinary western style shaped house into an Igloo, Dutch Windmill, Russian Dacha or Japanese Sukiya. These separate accessories come with a story told by illustrated Mi-House characters Syd and Pipi, who appear in national costume and explain how each culture cares for their local environment.

For endless hours of fun, Mi-House has also created an interactive website with heaps of colouring activities, suggestions for decorating, competitions, more environmental tips as well as puzzles and quizzes.

Amanda Monzo, Mi-House marketing manager says "We are really pleased to have created a product that gets children actively playing, expressing their creativity and also learning about the world and our environment."

Brian Scarsbrick, chief executive officer of Landcare Australia, says "We support the launch of the Mi-House as it fits in well with the primary aim of Junior Landcare which is to encourage young people to learn how to play an active role in ensuring the safe future of our environment. The environment is kids' number one fear after losing a parent and they're keen to help.

"Each Mi-House purchased will give young landcarers the funds to plant a tree, providing a very practical way in which they can improve the environment and help combat climate change."

Mi House will be in stores in September. The Mi-house base can be purchased, with the additional accessories such as the Mi-igloo and Mi-windmill also available. Please see the website for more information: www.mi-house.com.
