A forklift has helped bring four metres of joy to children at a non-profit day care centre in Hesston, Kansas.

The two-storey playhouse, which features two-metre ceilings, carpet, curtains and a staircase, swayed back and forth as the forklift delivered it to Hesston Community Child Care Centre this week (pictured).

The playhouse, constructed as a fundraiser for the Court Appointed Special Advocate Association, was donated by the winners, Wayne and Edna Decker, according to the Newton Kansan newspaper.
