How to choose a doll house for your little one

Toys are fun for kids in general, but a doll house is even better. Doll play is not only entertaining but it will also boost your kids’ creativity, improve fine motor skills, problem-solving, and language development. So it’s a win-win. 

Doll houses come in different styles, sizes, and materials. And variety is good, you’ll actually find a wide range of dolls, playsets & toy figures at vidaXL. But if too many options are confusing and that makes it hard for you to pick one, we’ve got some tips.

When looking for the perfect one, filter the products by age range and also read the product description carefully in order to make sure that the toy you’re buying is age-appropriate. That’s important for safety reasons, but also because a 5-year-old who is getting a first doll house will have different preferences compared to a 12-year-old collector. 

At the same time, consider the materials the house is made of. Consider the materials used to construct the house in the same way. While a wooden one is sturdier, plastic is a preferable option for smaller children to avoid injury. Plastic is also easier to clean.

The next step is to choose a size. It'll also determine the size of the furniture and the number of dolls that can fit inside. Finally, decide on a style and if you want a decorated and furnished home or an empty one.

Looking for a large doll house?

If you're looking for a large doll house for your child, you'll find these at vidaXL as well. There are a variety of alternatives available, ranging from 90 cm 3-story dolls houses with built-in staircases and mini furniture to 120 cm kid-size large dolls houses with sliding elevators and overhanging balconies.

However, before purchasing a large doll house, consider where you'll put it and how much space it would take up in your children's playroom.

Fun games and ideas for doll houses

There are countless games that children can play with a doll house. In the following, we'll only touch on a few ideas. Dolls house kits typically include furniture, so you can help your child decorate in a variety of ways and possibly even create an outdoor living space for the house by using those miniature pieces of furniture. They'll feel like they've gotten a new toy after a house remodel.

Another fun idea is to engage in different activities around the house, such as role playing with dolls. They'll get up in the morning, brush their teeth, have breakfast, and get ready for school, among other things. This is a fantastic approach for your child to learn accountability, responsibility, and develop important habits.
