Gabbys Dollhouse Toys in Toys Character Shop

For what ages are dollhouses rated?

Most dollhouses are rated appropriate for children ages 3 and up, and age 3 to 4 years old is usually when most children start playing with dollhouses. In many cases, the manufacturer will provide guidance on age-appropriateness, so follow these guidelines. Some dollhouses may have smaller pieces that can cause a choking hazard. Others are aimed specifically at toddlers and preschoolers and may not be stimulating for older kids.

How many sets of sheets should I buy for my toddler's bed?

It's recommended that you have at least three sets of sheets on hand for your toddler's bed. This way, you can have one in use and one in the laundry with a backup on hand in case there's an accident. It's also recommended that you change your toddler's sheets at least once a week, more frequently if there are spills or accidents.

What skills will playing with a dollhouse help my child develop?

Dollhouses encourage pretend play, which can help your child learn skills like communication and empathy. They'll also learn problem-solving skills by mimicking real-life scenarios. Dollhouse play may also encourage creativity and help with fine motor skills.
