21 Wooden Dolls House | Mum's Grapevine

The good old wooden dolls house is still rather a big deal for kids in Australia, and if there is anything sweeter than watching growing boys and girls re-create family scenes in one, it’s knowing that they are learning so much about the world as they do.

And while the old-world styles of dolls houses that have been famously facilitating pretend play for centuries are still a big hit today, contemporary playhouses are bringing new levels of fun to the classic toy.

Whether you’re after a cool rattan beach shack, a wall-mountable home or a castle fit for a queen, there’s a dolls house out there to suit every little personality and every space.
