Dollhouse for a young Valentine

My father made me the most fabulous wood dollhouse when I was about 8 years old. It took him hours to put together, as it was very intricate and I had to get in the way and help. I don't know what ever happened to that dollhouse, but I treasure the many hours and years of fun I had playing with it.

If you want to give your little girl something very special this Valentine's Day, you can make her a foam dollhouse that folds flat and can be taken anywhere she goes. Cookie's market editor Meryl made one for her niece using a 20" x 30" piece of foam core board. She covered the walls with graphic wrapping paper, cut pictures and a clock out of catalogs, and used a sharpie to give the pictures their own unique frame. Her niece then filled all the rooms with her own toys.

I didn't like being confined to one spot with the lovely house my dad made me. The dollhouse was too heavy for me to lug around, and it was hard to reach into tight areas. With Meryl's foam dollhouse, your little princess can easily pick up and move her toys, and not worry about being confined to one area.

Thank you, Rachel, for the tip.
