Kids Crooked House Ranks #2 on Nielsen Ratings for Most Effective Product Placement
WINDHAM, Maine,
Kids Crooked House had their kid's playhouses featured on an episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 in June of 2009. In the episode, four playhouses were delivered to the Gosselin's children and were assembled on the show. The show also featured the children playing in the playhouses helping to demonstrate just how fun the crooked playhouses are.
"We've come to realize that Kids Crooked House resonates with both children and adults," said
Kids Crooked House was inspired by, and is infused with, Maine and its natural wonders. When Glen built the first Kids Crooked House for his own children, it was because he loved being outside among the pines and wanted his kids to love it too, so it's no wonder that every Kids Crooked House is built with Maine lumber, by Maine craftsmen, and can withstand everything the Maine seasons can throw at it.
