A Wendy house is a small playhouse for children that is large enough for one or more children to enter and play in. The name "Wendy house" comes from the character Wendy Darling in J.M. Barries play, Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldnt Grow Up. The original Wendy house was built by Peter Pan and the Lost Boys around Wendy after she was shot by the Lost Boy Tootles and fell to the ground. The design of a Wendy house typically features a peaked roof covering a square footprint, a tiny front door, and one or two windows. Wendy houses can be made of wood or plastic and are usually placed in the garden. They can be used as a private space for children to play, read, relax, or unleash their creativity. The size and solidity of a Wendy house can vary from a plastic kit to something resembling a real house in a childs size. The price of a wooden Wendy house can start around £400-500. In South Africa, Wendy houses are a form of accommodation for live-in domestic workers and are wooden structures on the employers property that feature basic amenities such as electricity and running water.
