Wooden doll houses: a history of play

Did you know that the first dollhouses were made, not for children, but for adults? Dollhouses, as they are known today, were originally cabinet homes made for upper class women. These miniature homes were displayed to represent the ideal home and sometimes cost as much as a real house. The pieces were hand made and each was unique. When the industrial age came about, factories began creating the houses cheaply, so that they could be enjoyed by all. Today, wooden doll houses are loved by adults and children. Little girls love putting their homes together, finding new accessories and even hidden places inside the houses. These preschool educational toys help children understand spatial relationships, but mostly they are simply fun! Help your child develop a unique sense of creativity with these toys!
