NZ Certified Builders Rotorua has three castle-themed children's playhouses to give away, and invites local play centres, kindergartens, crèches and other early childcare groups to register their interest in receiving one.

As well as donating the playhouses, NZCB member builders will deliver and install them for the lucky recipients.

The playhouses are safe, durable, 1.5-metre structures that include a turret and drawbridge, providing a brilliant platform for imaginative and adventurous play. They were hand-crafted by some of the Bay of Plenty's most talented building apprentices during the regional heats of the annual NZCB Apprentice Challenge, which ran nationwide on April 21 with 96 apprentices from across the country competing.

The apprentice who won the Bay of Plenty competition was Tauranga's Cameron Diack. He will be vying for the national title at the NZCB Apprentice Challenge Final, which is being held at the NZCB Annual Conference in Rotorua on May 25-26.

The conference marks NZCB's 20th year, and has attracted record attendance of over 700 builders from around the country.

A highlight of the conference is a fun event that involves the Apprentice Challenge finalists each building and racing carts they have constructed during the day, in a ‘Great Apprentice Race'.

Any local early childcare providers who are interested in receiving a playhouse are urged to contact Nick Matthews (nick@nzcb.nz or 021 906 483). Playhouses will be donated on a first in first served basis.
