High-Quality Wooden Dollhouses Are Perennial Favorites

A wooden dollhouse is a great gift any time of the year and has a way of transforming a child's play in a way that few other toys can. A classic interactive toy, wooden dollhouses encourage open-ended play, a feature missing from many of today's battery-operated toys. Kids respond to their own creativity and thought rather than following the prompts of a computer chip.

Another key feature of wooden dollhouses is that play can be either cooperative or independent. If a child plays alone, she instantly has a family of friends. All the little wooden family members have names, personalities, jobs and tasks. If she is playing with siblings or friends, play becomes a team activity.

The Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget noted that kids learn through play. Dollhouses are exceptional learning toys. Playing with a wooden dollhouse is not just a fun activity or a way to pass the time. The time spent at play is critical to a child's development. For example, watch your daughter play with a wooden dollhouse. Her fine motor skills develop as she manipulates the dolls and moves furniture. Her speech develops as she talks to each doll and makes them talk, and as she parrots what you say to her or your spouse during the course of the day. Her social skills develop as she plays cooperatively with others.
