Is this dollhouse too minimal for a 9 year old?

I think it is. I bought it for my 2 year old and it is perfect but at 9, she would probably enjoy a really dollhouse. This house is well made and very cute. I love that it folds up with everything tucked inside. Very easy to clean up and keep the pieces together.

I would say yes, it would be fine for a 9 yr. old. The pillow pet is not really good to cuddle with because of the hard plastic case on top. but the "fur" is very soft. My 5 yr old granddaughter and I enjoy laying in the dark watching the lights shine on the ceiling. She often falls asleep during the light show. The pillow pet has a 20 minute (I think 20) timer and turns itself off.

Not really. Our grandson recently turned 12. He's tallish and on thin side in body makeup. I'd think a 9 yr old could use it just fine.

Absolutely. I got this for my 3 year old but my 7 and 9 year olds LOVE it and want one for themselves. It is certainly big enough for a 9 year old as it's a twin size. Keep in mind it only holds up to 120 lbs so eventually they will outgrow it.

Well, it is a really nice barn - at least I think so. My daughter loves it - I bought it for her when she was 7 or 8 and she is ten now and still playing with it. I think it would be fine - it is basic and I can't think of anything on it that would be harmful and it is made well so should be durable through the years. It would be a good gift - it also depends on how advanced your child is - however as I said my 10 year old is still playing with it so your 3.5 year old will get many days of play out of it! Hope this helps.

I would say that a 9 year old could play it with some minor assistance. 12 to play autonomously. I must admit that my mom can't play without help, and she is 60. :)

Hi, it might be a little small in my opinion. Our daughter got it when she was 3 and now 1 year later she continues to play inside but it is not very roomy. with 2 kids in there and toys, you can't move much. But ... the house is nice and likes it very much. The door bell stop working however .. even with new batteries

It may be a little advanced for an 18th month old because it has some tiny pieces for the kitchen. We have this for a three year old. But its a great little dollhouse and doesn't take up much room. Our child loves it.

I bought this for my 6yr old & 3 yr old. I would not consider any of the pieces extremely small but that's my opinion. The twin babies and flower pots are probably the smallest accessories that come with the house. You could always put those away until later.

It might be slightly advanced for a three year old, but if she's a normal little girl she'll play with it for hours at a time. A adult WILL need to help her put the doll house up, but it isn't very hard at all. What is really nice, is that it folds FLAT when you take it down.

I'm not sure, if your dollhouse is the large plastic one I think the furniture would be too small.

the doll house needs a small amount of assembly but not bad at all..don't know about the packaging

Hello, I checked Fisher-Price's Web site, and it appears the Loving Family line of dollhouses are built to a much smaller scale than this one. Judging from the photos on Fisher-Price's site, it appears the dolls the girls are playing with in the dollhouses are 4.5 inches tall, or about the size of a Star Wars action figure. My sense of the KidKraft Glitter Dream Dollhouse was that it was designed for much bigger dolls, possibly even Barbie dolls. So therefore the furniture from the Loving Family line would look very small in this dollhouse. I hope this helps!

We bought this for my 4 yr old daughter last Christmas and she still plays with it at least once a week if not more. She'll be 6 in March. Both she and my 3.5 yr old daughter play with it. As for size, it's way smaller than say a ;Barbie dream house. Or even a regular doll house. It's in a few sections and some of them come apart pretty easily now, especially if manhandled. And the stairs come off all the time. That said, I would definitely buy this again. Oh and if you want to build it before you give it as a gift, give yourself a few hours at least. I did it Xmas Eve because it was a gift from Santa and ended up going to bed very very late. :-)

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 do not think it would be big enough for a nine year old. It is perfect size for my daughter who is almost 5.
