What should I look for in a dollhouse for a preschooler?
When buying a dollhouse for a preschooler, look for one that is small and easy for your child to carry. A dollhouse with 10 to 20 accessories is suitable for a young child to stimulate imaginary play but does not have too many parts. Pieces should be chunky enough so as not to present a choking hazard.
What are some considerations when buying a dollhouse?
When buying a dollhouse, consider the size and think about how many children might play with the dollhouse at once. Before you make a purchase, check the dimensions to make sure it will fit in your space. When thinking about price, decide whether you may add dollhouse accessories or extra floors in the future and whether this fits into your budget. Other factors to consider are whether you want a portable dollhouse and if you want a plastic or wooden product. Plastic dollhouses are usually lighter in weight and less expensive but wooden dollhouses are sturdier and they often hold their value longer.
How does a dollhouse help children developmentally?
A dollhouse encourages children to pretend, and pretending helps boost social skills and teaches children to share, cooperate, and resolve conflicts. Playing with the various pieces in a dollhouse also improves a child's dexterity and fine motor skills.
