Make your own Dollhouse

Here is a kids' craft idea which can also turn out to be a toy for young girls.....

My 5-year old daughter owns 2 different dollhouses, but she LOVES to make her own out of cardboard boxes. Simply take a large cardboard box, cover it with white paper and cut out windows. If we want to be really fancy we add a 2nd story and windows. (cut another piece of cardboard and make two "wings" and cut slots in the side to make it stand up.

My daughter then has a great time decorating the house, drawing pictures, furniture, even people. She also plays in them all the time with her toys.
