Comments on: DIY Dollhouse–Make Your Own Dollhouse out of Recycled Materials http://greenbabyguide.com/2009/09/08/diy-dollhouse-make-your-own-dollhouse-out-of-recycled-materials/ Earth Friendly, Budget Friendly Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:24:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andrea http://greenbabyguide.com/2009/09/08/diy-dollhouse-make-your-own-dollhouse-out-of-recycled-materials/comment-page-1/#comment-3950 Andrea Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:28:21 +0000 http://greenbabyguide.com/?p=3379#comment-3950 This is a wonderful idea. I will have to remember this when my little girl gets a little older. My brother and I did something similar to this when we had a whole family of gerbils. They LOVE to chew on cardboard, so we made them a cardboard house complete with ramps to upper floors and paper towel tube connector from their cage. It was a lot of fun. They chewed it bit by bit until it was a huge fluffy nest in their cage. This is a wonderful idea. I will have to remember this when my little girl gets a little older.

I hope I do creative stuff like this with my kids someday instead of plopping them in front of the TV. Actually, I KNOW I will. :) Great post! Wow, this is awesome.

I took the top-down approach (no ceiling, one-story house) and used a box that was about 6 inches tall and maybe 24 inches by 14 inches? I used an old scrap of towel to carpet the two bedrooms and made room dividers out of cardboard which I glued into place. I made beds out of little boxes, covered with cloth scraps. An empty spool with a square of cardboard glued on top became the kitchen table. A sponge cut lengthwise with one part glued perpendicular to the other became the living room sofa. And so on. I had so much fun making this and it cost my parents literally nothing (except for buying the mouse "dolls" who inhabited the house). And I had no idea at the time that I was recycling!

I remember my brother and I used to make forts when we were little out of chairs and blankets, but this really stepped it up a notch. Not only does your child get something neat to play with, but they'll feel a sense of pride in creating a beautiful piece of art. Then, we they outgrow it, you don't have to haul it anywhere but the recycle bin!! Just great! :-) I LOVE this!!!
