Wooden Doll Houses – Why Select Wood? by Tricia Jones
As children, we often pretended to build imaginary houses. This is a way in which children express their imagination and creativity and it is crucial in determining their perception of love, home and family. When you give your child a wooden dolls house you are also giving that child a tool to aid imagination and creativity.
Wooden doll houses have a long history. They appeared about 400 years ago and developed from Victorian mansion miniatures into modern child sized houses equipped with all sorts of furnishings and accessories. During the 16th and 17th centuries, dollhouses were built for well-heeled families as home ornaments and were kept in cabinet displays to conserve their beauty and delicacy. These miniature dollhouses or “baby houses” as they were known at the time were created especially for adults and ardent collectors who appreciated the exceptional details and structures of old architecture. The baby houses were extremely expensive and delicate and because of that children were forbidden to play with or even touch them.
Over time, the designs became more and more fashionable and contemporary. Dollhouses became a girls favorite play things and were frequently gifted on various occasions like birthdays and weddings. This situation led to the opening of an entire new world to be discovered by little girls especially because they loved to play house and imitate their mothers as they tucked their little offspring to bed or set the dinner table.
Today, wooden doll houses can be featured with multiple floors and bedrooms just like a normal home which makes it even more realistic for children. This permits them to express freely their own personality when setting up their own fantasy home. At the same time, this helps them perform their role while playing with friends and siblings.
There exist also up-to-the-minute doll houses made of synthetic materials, but they are not as reliable as the ones made of wood. Wooden dollhouses are better and more enduring because wood is a material that can resist for a long time if treated properly. Apart from this, wood offers a doll house a more genuine and unaltered look which makes it even more attractive and inviting for both adults and children. Also they come in various shapes and colors that add to the dollhouse’s charm and beauty. Many people spend a great deal of money to craft the wooden dollhouse of their dreams. Doll houses such as those made of mahogany or oak can be quite expensive, but they can also last you a lifetime and can be passed down to future generations.
If you are looking for the perfect gift for your precious little girl, wooden doll houses are the best choice. They might seem old-fashioned, but they still can capture the attention and hearts of both children and adults especially if they want to remain young at heart with the passing of time.
