Dollhouses have been a staple of Childhood play for generations of kids. Allowing children to decorate and arrange their own dollhouses helps inspire creative ideas, like an early fascination with architecture, design, art, and even creative writing. Dollhouses often serve as a stage for kids to set up their own original plays, craft their dream homes, and even act out ideas of what they want to be when they grow up!Today there's a wide selection of dollhouse designs to choose from, ranging from that traditional Victorian style to more modern houses with minimalist decor. Falling into a category of it's own is the sustainable Chalet style dollhouse with that cool and earthy color palette, modern skylights and open design. These dollhouses aren't confined to one look either and are designed to be arranged in a variety of ways.
There's a lot of room for imaginative play and creativity here. Kids can choose whether their cascading stairs should belong in or outside the house, turn the dollhouse itself into separate condos, decide on the feng shui of the accompanying furniture, or even add compatible parts to create an epic sprawling metropolis.
Like creative writing, painting, and theater, imaginative play with dollhouses can serve as a creative outlet for kids of all different ages. Wee ones who're still developing their logical thinking skills, creativity and object recognition naturally take to dollhouses because they allow hem to work out and understand the world around them.
While kids who're growing a little older may see dollhouses as a platform for working out more complex and creative ideas, like coming up with dollhouse decoration plans built around color or themes. Kids naturally start to pick out their own dollhouse furniture, accessories, and miniature dolls to create more involved worlds.
