BUILD A DOLLHOUSE

 

Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House was built 100 years ago for the Queen of England and it is spectacular.  This is the library, and the miniature books are real!  See more pictures of it here:

But that kind of dollhouse is only for looking at, NOT for playing with. 

 

Do you have dolls that need a home?  

 

You could make one for them by stacking and gluing boxes together, on their sides so they face outwards.  You can paint the inside rooms with poster paint, draw or cut out pictures to hang on the walls, and make furniture so the dolls will be comfortable.  How about a fireplace, and garage, and kitchen?  You could make plates and cups out of playdough.

On the outside you could paint vines growing up the sides of the house, or flowers growing.  Is the house made of brick? Or wood? Or stucco?

 

When you are done, your dolls should have a moving-in party, don’t you think?
