The Victorian Dollhouse: A Timeless Treasure

Starting with the My First Dollhouse, the PlanToys dollhouse lineup has grown over the years, introducing models like the Modern Dollhouse, Creative Play House, Deluxe House, and Little Dollhouse, all leading up to the Victorian Dollhouse. Following the Victorian Dollhouse, we introduced the Contemporary, Chalet, and the Green Dollhouse, with our most recent addition being the Slide N Go Dollhouse.

Just like our other toys, our dollhouses are made with a focus on the environment. At PlanToys, we are committed to being eco-friendly and have never cut down trees for making toys. Instead, we responsibly obtain rubberwood from trees that would otherwise be discarded by the latex industry when they can't produce latex anymore. This wood goes through careful processes to make it safe and long-lasting. Skilled workers in our factory oversee every step. While most dollhouse parts are made from natural, unpainted wood, we use water-based paint and natural dyes for parts that need coloring.

The Victorian Dollhouse joined the PlanToys collection in 2003. Since its introduction, it has remained a timeless classic, adding a touch of amazement to children's playrooms and igniting their imaginations. It has consistently appeared on wish lists, bringing happiness to countless holidays, birthdays, and various celebrations, uniting children and families as they enjoy a cherished heirloom gift.

Below are some key aspects that set this dollhouse apart from others: 

• The hinged doors and attic spark excitement among children, serving as a portal to dollhouse play, and simultaneously helping maintain a refreshed play area by concealing any cluttered rooms, (or not).
• It's the perfect canvas for expression! The natural wood inspires people to explore their creativity and personal design sense by adding wallpaper, paint, or stain. Craft your own furniture and home decor and keep up with the holidays. It's and ongoing project that keeps children and adults inspired.
• It's aesthetically pleasing. When it's not being played with, this captivating dollhouse stands on its own, quite literally. 
• Its size allows for longer play sessions, as children can comfortably sit up or stand, fully immersing themselves in the experience.
• It can grow with children, even as their interests evolve. For teenagers or adults who have grown out of traditional dollhouse play it can be used to store books, craft supplies, clothes, and so much more!

Here are just a few of the many advantages that dollhouse play offers:

• Self-Expression - Dollhouses are open-ended canvases, inspiring children and adults to make their own worlds and live in them.
• Emotional Competence & Coping Skills - By engaging in dollhouse play, children can reenact life events, not only in positive ways but also to show the impact of challenging situations, opening the door to important discussions.
• Socialization & Confidence -  Playing with dollhouses encourages children to play on their own and with friends and family, helping them connect with others and feel more self-assured.
• Fine Motor Skills & Spatial Awareness - As children decorate rooms and arrange each object, they strengthen their hand muscles, learn how to mix items of different sizes and shapes, all while understanding the space between them.

We are constantly evolving our dollhouse collection while we also partner with companies who are passionate about dollhouse play and artfully crafted, heirloom toys.
