Now at 3 he does it all the time - it’s all he does, really.<br /> He has a Little People doll house that he got for Christmas last year when he was 2y4m. He liked it but it took a few months for him to really get into it. Now he plays with it every week for extended periods of time. It’s only $30 or so, you could always start with something like that and if she has an interest, work up to a nicer/bigger one.<br /> ETA: my niece is just a couple months older than my son and she got a “real” dollhouse last year at about 2.5. She liked it from the beginning and still uses it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-age-for-doll-house#post-2783296 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 13:09:19 +0000 JennyPenny 2783296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: thanks! that's even cuter than the ones I was finding on amazon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-age-for-doll-house#post-2783292 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 12:53:43 +0000 catomd00 2783292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD loved her dollhouse starting around 2.5. My 16 month old has been obsessed with it for a while now, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-age-for-doll-house#post-2783238 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 10:45:42 +0000 looch 2783238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a dollhouse can be enjoyed by kids of any age really, as long as you don't expect actual doll play. As an example, my son played with his play kitchen from when he was 2 years old, but not with play food. He used it to store his trains.</p> <p>I didn't have my first dollhouse until I was about 6, so I always tend to do thing on the early side now, so as not to "miss out" on any possible play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-age-for-doll-house#post-2783235 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 10:43:32 +0000 Alba4 2783235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: sure!

He likes to create stories and imagine situations. It was a great age. My younger son is only 16 months and he also likes the moving parts of the doors as well as the furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-age-for-doll-house#post-2782996 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 13:11:06 +0000 Meowkers 2782996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's a good age to get a child a doll house? When did your child start to show interest in one. My DH wants to get my DD a doll house for her upcoming 3rd birthday. I'm not so sure. It's huge so if she's not interested in it, I would hate to just have it sitting around and taking up space. </p>
