What age range do you think this doll house would suit? My daughter is 3. Also don't want her to accidentally damage it.

This wonderful doll house is ideal for children aged 2 1/2 to 9 or 10, in my estimation. The components are very durable, and the furniture and accessories are nicely constructed of wood. It is helpful that 'tether straps' are included, to prevent any accidental tip-over by younger children - takes just a few minutes to secure the dollhouse to the wall. My granddaughters have enjoyed this doll house set from the moment they received it as a gift - they are currently 3 and 5 - and had a wonderful time playing with it even this morning! Scale is just right for 11 1/2 in. dolls, but all their fashion dolls (big and small) are eventually included in their doll house play!

All depends. Mine were 5/6 and now hardly play with it a year later. I think at three itll be used a ton. Pretty hard to damge unless it gets drawn on or something. Took quite a while to put together. About 3 hours for us but tat included telling the kids to go someplace else.

Our two year old granddaughter plays with her 6 year old sister in this house. She uses a sturdy oak kids chair to stand and reach the top floor, and they have thoroughly enjoyed it for 6 months so far. No breakage, no problems! When all 6 of our grands are over at the house, they play with this and with the wooden train track - favorite family toys and will last through their childhood from what I can see of the quality. We are well pleased.

I bought it for my 2 1/2 year old grandaughter last year for Christmas. Once the package was opened both she and her 4 year old sister played together with these sturdy "paper" dolls for quite awhile. I guess that 3 years would be the perfect age. lol

Hi,My daughter got it with 4 for her dollhouse. Our kids have wooden dollhouses with wooden dolls. And she uses is for them. Also her 6 year old sister borrows it for her dolls sometimes. I would say if you use it for this porpuse, small dolls or animals, it is a very nice toy for kids at the age of your daughter.

This is a very large and complex dollhouse. The roof can be changed from winter to spring and floors can be changed. The furniture and accessories are quite small. I think that it would be appropriate for an older child.

I bought it last year and my daughter was 6. She still loves it and her friend that's 9 asked for one for Christmas. My daughter would draw on her toys when she was little so I wouldn't even think about buying a more expensive doll for her at age 2 or 3. So I would think age 4 & up. Hope this helps!

No--This doll house is NOT for barbie dolls. It is a "kit" which is in various parts; consisting of flat balsa wood. (Thin) craft wood. It requires careful assembly; and you definitely need glue and other 'tools' to assemble it. Mine was returned, b/c instructions were not included. A miniature doll house would be appropriate for an older child, and doll-people who fit in the house are only 1.5 - 2" tall. Visit your local hobby store for more information. Good luck!

I would say that it would really depend on the 3 years old. The product is rated 3 years and up. I don't know if my son would have been able to put the pieces together at that age, but I do know he would have had fun with the end product.

I would suggest plastic for a three year old. I would say this set would be better suited for a child 4-6 years old.

Start with a small set and see how it goes. My grandson was seven when I gave a set to him. I believe your three year old might enjoy putting something together even if it doesn't look like the picture on the box.

I would say anywhere from 3 and up is a good age for this doll. When grandkids aren't here I find myself fixing her up and putting her to bed too.

I think the house itself is safe but the dolls, furniture and accessories could pose a choking hazard. As long as there is adult supervision, I think it would be ok. I purchased this for a four year old.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply, but this should be appropriate for a 3 year old. I have bought mine for a 2 year old and she already knows how to play with all the little things. I hope I have helped you in anyway possible.Sincerely,

Yes, I think this doll would be great for a 3 year old. The size and softness make it perfect for hugging and toting around :)

I would say that age would tire of this doll quickly. Also, her hair would drive them crazy since it is held down by a thin clear strap. once that is gone there is a huge bald spot and the hair sticks up. I would describe it as a circle of hair. I would say the age range would be more like 3 to 4.

No, sorry. This is more a collectible that a toy. The handling would do a child of six years of this, it would break quickly. You should look at other options, such as Hasbro or Mattel that are really oriented to children of these ages. Thanks for reading. My greetings

O.K. for a 3 year old as long as it is not a 16". My 6 year old granddaughter loves it. She especially likes to be able to ride her biddy baby in the doll carrier.

The manufacturer's suggested age is 3+ but this is not at all safe for a 3-year-old. In my opinion it is appropriate for a child who is at least 9. It is possible that a very careful 7-year-old could manage it. It has small parts and it's not particularly sturdy. It will not stand alone -- it requires a doll stand.
