Check your local Facebook Marketplace or yard sales. This is the time of year when people are cleaning out their garages. Good luck!
I made one for my granddaughter out of two cardboard boxes I got from a friend who had a frame shop. . . glass came in these boxes so they were sturdy. It was lot of fun, but of course not too long lasting (I gave it away to a child at one of my yard sales)
You can often get large boxes from a furniture store. And I have found the little ones love decorating it. When I cut out a window I left it “hinged” on both sides and hot glued handles made of cardboard to open and close them. There are endless ways to decorate and make it one of a kind. Kids love them and when they outgrow it ....easy to get rid of with no real cost.
