Dolls House Dolls And Dolls House Furniture – Why They Are Excellent Toys For Kids And Parents

When I was a little girl, my biggest dream was to have my very own dolls house. I knew exactly what I wanted too. It had to open up so I could place the dolls house furniture all over and move it all around at will and it had to have a functioning front door. There had to be two stories; upstairs would be a complete bathroom and two bedrooms – one for the mummy and daddy dolls and one for the baby doll – and of course, what would a dolls house  be without a downstairs kitchen, lounge and dining room.

There are few things that bring as much joy and happiness to a little girl than being able to play with her own dolls, dolls house and dolls house furniture. I would recommend that every parent or grandparent of a little girl make a plan of some sort to either buy or even build a dollhouse for their precious child. The hours of play that come from having one of your very own is worth all the money spent and effort put into making this magical childhood dream come true.

Dolls houses can also meet the likes and preferences of any little girl from Victorian to modern day. The options are endless – almost as much the same as they are for a real house. Miniature houses   are great for play areas with space constraints, child-size, walk-in houses are wonderful for a bigger girl and one who has more play space. A garden, pool, club house, stables and tennis court are all optional extras to bring even more imaginationary play into your daughter’s experiences.

The dolls themselves are also a big factor in playing house. They have to fit into the house and they need to be flexible so that they can move around and use the dollshouse furniture. For example a doll with legs that don’t move makes playing slightly frustrating as her movements are very limited. The more ‘real’ the experience, the more fun there is to be had. These dolls can also if chosen carefully be a collector’s item with real value, adding another dimension to this fun activity.

It also helps if the furniture is as close to a real-life setting as possible and by this I don’t mean that it has to be operational or even look exactly the same. It just has to have all the accessories like the kitchen and bathroom appliances too. These can be found to match any dolls house  or bought in a set, with so many detailed and varying types and designs, from porcelain to plastic, or they can be custom made which makes them all the more unique and personalised.

Having a dolls house  fitted with furniture and dolls house dolls  isn’t only something little girls enjoy either. Many adults enjoy collecting and adding to their childhood collections of their dolls houses and furniture. So you never know this could turn out to be a future hobby of your little one. On top of this, there are also the generations of children who follow in the family who can share in the joy of real play and using their imaginations, instead of just sitting in front of the television or computer.

What You Need to Know About Buying Dollhouse Miniatures

Even if you’re not buying dollhouse miniatures for yourself, surely you’d rather ensure your purchase or gift would be put to good use? If so, you need to spend a bit more time and effort than you intended on finding the best dollhouse miniature for your needs. Picking a dollhouse miniature is not much different from picking out your dream home. There’s more to it than mere looks and size, and you’ll find this out for yourself in a while.

Dollhouse Scales
Choosing the right scale is critical. Standard scales give you a wider variety of accessories and furniture to choose from while the less common scales may require you to order for custom-built supplies, which are not only more expensive but they may also not match the professional quality of standard dollhouse decor.

Understanding Miniature Scales

If you are fascinated by dollhouses and want to get in on collecting and creating your own miniature paradise, there are some things you need to know. Believe it or not, math, or at least numbers will become very important to you as this hobby is pursued. Scale is something you will need to understand and pay attention to if you want your final collection to look as uniform and realistic as possible.

Scale is nothing more than a way to represent the size of a miniature in relation to the actual, full-size object. It is generally referred to as a ratio. For example, standard dollhouse scale has one inch equaling one foot, which is written as 1:12 or 1/12 scale on items purchased for a dollhouse. If a book, for example, would normally measure 12 inches, or a foot, in length, the miniature would be created to match it in appearance, but would only be an inch in length itself.

Understanding scale and selecting a measurement to stick with is important in the world of dollhouse collecting for a number of reasons. The most important is the fact that once a scale is selected and stuck with all items in a dollhouse will match more readily. When scale isn’t adhered to, pieces within a dollhouse can look out of kilter and ruin the illusion of realism. If, for example, a collector starts out with a 1:24 scale and then adds in some pieces at 1:12, the additions will look huge in comparison. Nothing can wreck the illusion of perfection created in a dollhouse faster than having cups on a table that are almost as big as the table itself! Scale helps collectors avoid this eventuality.

Doll house enthusiasts have been assigning scale to pieces since the 1970s. The move toward standard scales began as a way to keep uniformity in the hobby. There are a number of standard scales used in dollhouse creation. The most common is 1:12, but other scales can also be selected. They include 1:6, 1:24 and 1:48. The 1:48 scale is often referred to as the quarter scale and will typically be the smallest collectors will find with pieces readily available. The 1:6 scale is typically used in children’s toys. It is the scale for fashion dolls and their accessories.

Before buying or building a dollhouse, it’s important to set the desired scale at the start. This consideration really should start with the house itself if a more lifelike final dollhouse is desired. When dollhouse scale and the items within the house all match, the effect can be truly stunning. Select a dollhouse in one scale and go with a different scale on the dolls and objects and the appearance will be off.

There is more to dollhouse collecting than meets the eye. If an illusion of realism is truly desired, scale will matter a great deal. Once you pick scale, everything you buy or create for your collection can be readily crafted to fit and maintain the appearance of uniformity.

There are as many hobbies as there are people who enjoy them. Learn more about the popular hobby of building and collecting dollhouses and miniatures. Visit our large selection of doll house furniture kits today at http://www.TheMagicalDollhouse.com.
