A dollhouse is an amazing gift for your child. Home is the natural center of your child’s life, so the dollhouse is the perfect place to work out big emotions on a manageable scale. Dollhouses are open-ended toys that offer children a stage on which to enact what they see during everyday life. It is their little world that they can customize and control.
There are many design and models today. Some are super modern, others look like vintage homes and can have features like balconies, openable doors, and even elevators. Wooden dollhouses can look like small design masterpieces and can last for many years to come, but they’re also mostly pricier than plastic options.
Before choosing a dollhouse, there are a few things to consider such as: the age of your child, how much space you have available, if you want to move it around between spaces and what your budget is.
Once you choose a dollhouse, it usually lives in your homes for years so make sure you like yours! Here are some of my favorite wooden dollhouses for kids, ranging from reasonably priced to more a splurge, from small and foldable to pretty large mansions
