A wooden doll’s house is more than just something to look at. It is filled with memories and offers an opportunity for families to spend time together. So, if you want to grab this opportunity, we're here with some tips.
Let's look at some ways to involve everyone at home and make your dollhouse hobby a meaningful family activity.
1. Let Children Take the Lead
Start by letting your child do small tasks. They can arrange furniture, pick doll clothes, or decide how the rooms look. Kids like making decisions. It makes them feel confident and part of the process.
You don’t need to plan everything. Allow your child to experiment with new ideas, regardless of the chaos in the living room or the rearranged furniture. While you can be a supervisor and help when they ask.
2. Make It a Weekly Routine
Pick a time each week for your wooden dollhouse activity. Sunday mornings or Friday evenings can be dollhouse time. This helps make a habit. You will all look forward to a quiet, creative break from busy days.
Plan small tasks like painting a wall, decorating a room, or making tiny things. Everyone can choose what they want to do—whether it’s telling stories, building furniture, or adding decorations.
3. Make DIY Accessories Together
Use things you have at home to make small items for your wooden dollhouse. Scrap paper can be wallpaper. Old buttons can be plates or lights. Fabric scraps can be carpets or curtains.
The DIY option is inexpensive and helps children think creatively. Older kids and adults can do harder jobs like cutting or glueing safely. It is a calm way to spend time as a family.
4. Tell Stories With Your Dolls
Dolls help create many stories. Use the kids doll house to act out bedtime, picnics, birthdays, or holidays. Let your child tell the story. Let them make characters and decide what happens.
Ask questions like, “What does this doll like to eat?” or “Who lives in this room?” It helps children speak and think while feeling listened to.
At Barnshenn, we see dolls as tools to help children understand the world. When parents or siblings join, the dollhouse becomes a stage for learning and bonding.
5. Decorate for Each Season
Add small seasonal touches to your wooden dollhouse. Make tiny pumpkins for autumn, cotton snow for winter, or paper flowers for spring.
Ask your child to help with decorations. It makes each season special and keeps the activity new. You can also match real events like holidays, birthdays, or family traditions with the dollhouse scenes.
6. Use the Dollhouse to Talk
A wooden dolls house can help children talk about their feelings. Children may express their worries about school or changes at home by using their dolls.
Play along without pressure. Sometimes acting things out makes it easier for children to talk. You can learn more about your child by watching how they play with dolls and furniture.
7. Save Your Memories
Take photos of your kid's doll house projects. Make an album with dates and short notes. You can also record videos of storytelling.
These become precious family memories. They show how your child’s creativity and thinking grow. Looking back on these moments will be special for years.
8. Create a Dollhouse Corner
Make a special space for your wooden dollhouse. Pick a quiet, bright corner easy for children to reach. Add shelves for dolls, furniture, and tools.
This arrangement keeps things neat. It shows your child that the dollhouse is important and worth coming back to. Having a permanent place invites more play.
