Comparison of Dollhouses

What is a Dollhouse

Adults and children alike sometimes freeze in awe before dollhouses. Every kid dreams about one. We doubt it's a secret to any parent that all kids just love to play adults. And what is a better way to do that than to have a real house, with lots of rooms, beautiful furniture, and accessories? These toys add to your kids' social skills, widen their knowledge and understanding of communication.

At first glance, buying a dollhouse seems the easiest task. But when you actually start to Google them, you see a bizarre variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and themes. The choice nowadays can make one dizzy. Sometimes, the dollhouses kits look like real masterpieces, with their own peculiarities and neat individual features. We would like to offer you a review of 5 best dollhouses on the market in our opinion. After reading it, we are sure you will be able to choose the dollhouse that will become your child's favorite toy for years to come.

When you are done with selecting dollhouses and accessories, we recommend you to look at our play kitchens and play dishes reviews. Those may also catch your kids' eyes and help them acquire some useful skills.

What Features to Compare

So, your kid has asked for a dollhouse? Or it was your idea from the beginning? Well, either way, dollhouses miniatures are undeniably useful and (this is important!) fun toys. It's common to buy dollhouses for long-term use, and even to pass them on to grandchildren. When you start selecting dollhouses  for your kids, think about their Size and Design. We believe you know it already, but you should make your choice carefully. An overly small dollhouse will possibly bore your child soon, but a too big one may become a hindrance in a room, making it hard to move around. So, think twice about what part of the room can be sacrificed for a dollhouse.

Talking about design, this is best left for a child to choose. Try asking your kid how many floors and rooms he or she would like to have, would he or she like stairs or an elevator to move their dolls between floors? Or maybe you wish to make a surprise present? Well, you are the one who knows your child better, so maybe your decision will be different from our wild guess, but we suggest you to go for the number of rooms you use frequently in your everyday life. Children often try to replicate in a game what they see in real life, so your kids might like it to place their dolls in a dining room "like at home", or hang their Barbie® doll's dresses in a closet "like mommy's". Does your child prefer playing alone or are there any friends that frequently come over? Think about it when you decide on a size, too. What else? The children should have easy access to every corner of the big dollhouses. You can manage it by buying the dollhouse with several removable walls, for example, or by choosing the one that is wide enough and at the same time is not very deep (but pay attention so that the depth is sufficient to place furniture and accessories). There are toys dollhouses that can be closed to look like suitcases and are opened 180° when played with.

The next thing to consider is the Materials the dollhouse is made of. The more durable the dollhouse is, the longer it will serve as your child's playground. It is commonly believed that dollhouses are to be made of wood, but we believe a high-quality plastic is a way to go, it can endure everything you wish it to endure. Also, consider the child's Age. If you are buying a dollhouse for kids aged from 1.5 to 3 years old, the parts should be big enough as small children tend to swallow tiny objects. The durability and smoothness are important too. If a dollhouse is made of wood, the wood must be properly polished to not hurt your child.

And, finally, the Gaming Options. This is where the dolls' sizes (how big the dolls can be to fit into the house), furniture, and accessories go. Some dollhouses for kids cater for special dolls that differ from the usual ones. Although in these cases it is not unusual for dolls to be included in the package. Is your child an aspiring future designer who likes to draw and makes clothes for dolls out of every piece of cloth? If yes, then maybe they will be happy to decorate the house by themselves and you may skip on buying a fully furnished dollhouse. Another good addition (or even a necessary one) to a dollhouse is what some people call "street" elements, such as cars, pools etc. Various details that make sounds or light up when a kid interacts with them will also add to the gaming fun and engagement.

We've listed what we could think of as important. Now is your turn to choose. Below are the 5 absolutely different dollhouses kits. They look different, cost different, and offer different kinds of entertainment. We are sure you will be able to find the very best dollhouse.
