Dollhouse in a Book
Today, Kate recommends the compact and engaging Let's Pretend Rose's Doll's House:
“During a rainy weekend visiting relatives in Rhode Island, my aunt – one of the most intuitively child-oriented people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing – erased the rainy day blues by giving my daughter the Let's Pretend Rose's Doll's House.
Designed to look like a large hard-backed book and containing a multi-room dollhouse complete with small people, furniture, and reusable stickers, the dollhouse is a masterpiece of creative form and child-friendly function. The dollhouse folds up for easy portability - and includes a large pouch for storing the accessories - and unfolds in a way that really captures the young imagination. My daughter typically isn't one to play quietly by herself for extended periods, but she loves this dollhouse, and actually allowed me to sleep in one weekend morning - a lifetime first - because she was playing with the house. Whether you have a trip coming up or are simply looking for toy options that don't take up a lot of space, the Let's Pretend Doll House is a great option.”
