Here, her tiny family holds their many adventuresadventures her active, imaginative mind is free to invent and reinvent each day. She can rearrange the furniture, reenact familiar rituals and scenes, and invent her own rules. In a dollhouse, there is are bedtimes. In a doll house, everyone gets to eat 100 pieces of chocolate cakeeveryday!Control over a world (and her emotions)
But having a dollhouse gives them a sense of control over a smaller world, and here they can play-act their fears while practicing the rituals and routines that are part of healthy social interaction. For example, when a child holds an imaginary party in her dollhouse, planning a guest list that includes stuffed rabbits and the Queen of Fairies, they are (subconsciously) working through their anxiety about large crowds and unfamiliar faces. They would probably hate any party that included people they didnt know, but talking about what cakes to serve and which parts of the dollhouse their guests will stay in, makes her feel more confident about interacting with others.A toy that changes every day
Dollhouses transform each time a child sits down next to it. Each time she makes a story, each time she gives the dolls a name and then acts out their rituals and adventures, the dollhouse becomes different. One day its a castle under a spell. The next day its the scene of a grand ball. And maybe today its just an ordinary house, but the aliens (i.e., her brothers Buzz Lightyear action figure) attack. You never know.

A toy thats fun at any age
Dollhouses are also one of the few toys that dont get boring after a few weeks. In fact, because the fun lies in the childs imagination, they can be played with for years. As she grows older, shell start making clothes for the dolls, designing her own little furniture and curtains, decorating the doll house and possibly creating entire novellas about its miniature residents. When she grows up, and the dollhouse is put away, it can be retrieved years later and given to her own daughter.
