My daughters love playing with their doll house. They will literally spend hours playing with it. No, I’m not complaining! The problem, however, is that when we travel we can’t take their beloved doll house with us. I let them bring a few of their small dolls but then I get the questions: “But mom, where will our dolls sleep? Play? Eat their dinner?”
The Doll House Building Blocks from Babalu, Inc. and WJ Fantasy have solved our problem! The ten boxes stack on top of each other to create a Victorian-style doll house that you can play with at home or take with you!!!
Each of the ten blocks are individually illustrated to create ten different rooms: living room, dining room, library, kitchen, playroom, bathroom, child’s room, bedroom, sewing room, and attic. The blocks can also be stacked one onto of another to create a 10-story house, as the outside of each block is decorated as the exterior of a house.
My girls love stacking the blocks in different ways to create new houses. They split the blocks up between each other to create two separate houses. And they love discovering new things about the intricately detailed interiors.
The best part for me, as a mom…the blocks neatly pack away one inside another for a compact, easy to store and travel with, 6″ x 6″ x 6″ box!!! The Doll House Building Blocks will definitely be coming with us when we travel to grandma and grandpa’s house this Christmas!
WJ Fantasy offers a variety of other Building Blocks, including a Castle, Big City, Country Farm Touch & Feel, Do-Re-Mi Musical Blocks, ABCs, and much more! You can also find some great toys, games and books at WJ Fantasy, as well as some holiday products!
If you are looking for even more affordable and portable fun this holiday season, check out Babalu’s Felt Story Boards and other great educational products! These classic felt boards come in a variety of different scenes, allowing your child to use their imagination as they come up with story after story after story! My daughter already has Felt Tales – Pretty Princess and Felt Tales – Let’s Go to the Ballet on her Christmas Wish List!!!
To make your holiday travels a little more fun, we are giving away one set of Doll House Building Blocks (valued at $20) to a lucky reader!
