All girls go through a doll house phase. As young as three- or four- year old girls already have the creativity and cleverness that will let her enjoy playing with a doll house. Because of this, doll houses make great gifts for girls of all ages. The child may just appreciate it as a toy and that is good enough for us. But we know that playing with a dollhouse helps in their developmental stage.

The act of carefully arranging and dramatizing scenarios whets the imagination. Studies have found connections between imaginative play and cognition, social abilities and language skills. When children play together this is enhanced even more. They learn social skills such as self control, taking turns and sharing. Playing with miniature doll house accessories also develops their motor skills.
