- Working windows with safety glass and screens
- A child-size Dutch door plus an adult door
- All assembly hardware and a step-by-step manual with color photos
- You supply: shingles, paint and drip edge. A floor kit is optional on some models.

Big enough to grow into
The Pennfield Cottage and Craftsman stand 84 to 88 inches inside, with porches and a slide on the Craftsman. Sara’s Victorian Mansion and the Grand Portico Mansion reach 102 inches, with bay windows and a full-height adult door. They make great clubhouses, reading nooks and backyard hideouts long after the tea-party years.
